Monty Python’s Not the Messiah

An oratorio like no other!

In NOT THE MESSIAH, Monty Python legend Eric Idle and composer John Du Prez transform the cult film Life of Brian into a delightfully quirky concert full of wit, parody, and great music. Baroque meets pop, gospel meets orchestral sound and British humour meets biblical grandeur in this spectacular display of fireworks between the sacred and the satirical, which poses life\\\'s big questions with a wink. Who are we? What do we believe in? And why do we love to sing so much? This is no ordinary oratorio, but a musical creed that encourages us to see life on the bright side.
