On October 30th, the Opera Company of Philadelphia showed up at Macy's in Philadelphia with 650 choristers and the worlds largest pipe organ for a pop-up version of the Hallelujah Chorus. This brought tears to my eyes, as Handel's Messiah so often does. Sadly, in our world of mundane lyrics and even poorer music, I fear that many people have never heard this glorious piece of music. Kudos to the OCP for trying to bring a little culture to the people of Philadelphia. Should we all be so lucky.
