Christ Church Cathedral

 Originally meant to celebrate Easter and Lent, George Frideric Handel’s “Messiah” was actually first performed in April. But with a libretto culled from the Bible by Charles Jennens, the three-act oratorio migrated to December, where it has become a Christmas tradition. This week, you can catch two different performances. The Indianapolis Symphony Orchestra and the Indianapolis Symphonic Choir take the Clowes Hall stage on Dec. 15 (Details here.) and the choirs of Christ Church Cathedral and the Indianapolis Baroque Orchestra do the same Dec. 16 at Christ Church Cathedral.

Palladium

I’ve heard the case made that Burt is actually more magical than Mary. I’ve seen scenes from the movie recut to seem like a horror film. And I’ve heard the objections to the film by the writer of the original book. But none of these have diminished the magic of “Mary Poppins,” Disney’s 1964 classic that has the guts and beauty to take its time (imagine a two-plus-hour children’s film today). It’s got charming animation, great songs, Julie Andrews, Dick Van Dyke, a pair of terrific kid performances, and a wonderful supporting cast. And it’s being show in its big-screen glory as part of the new Great American Songbook Movie Series. Details here.
