Fabulous. Unforgettable.Written on Dec 20 2008
Goldstar contacted the venue to provide us with easily accessible seats as one of us had problems walking. We had great seats. There is a separate parking lot at the Disney Concert Hall. We didn't have to walk outside to go into the building. The garden is open to visitors prior to performance as is the cafe that offers a selection of wonderful meals or snacks( lamb/mashed potatoes etc. about $23.00/ my salad bar plate (mostly lettuce and a bit of tuna) was $13.95 (served on plastic plate). Expensive, I thought, but we enjoyed the food and setting. The last thing I'll mention is that there is a seating area behind the orchestra and those seated there would see the backs of the musicians. Very festive activity. A Christmas must one time or another!

I have been attending the Messiah Sing-A-Long for years, not every year, but most. This was my first time at the Disney Hall. If you have attended them at the Dorothy Chandler, you know how wonderful of an experience it is to be in a theater of thousands, all singing. Disney Hall is like Dorothy Chandler on steroids. Instead of voices all facing one direction, it's singers in the round. The acoustics is fantastic. I'm glad for the change in venue and plan on attending again next year. The orchestra and solo singers were wonderful, but the magic comes from the audience.Written on Dec 16 2008

This was my sixth year at the Sing-Along Messiah. Always a fun evening. Grant Gershon is an engaging charismatic conductor. The baritone, tenor, and alto soloists were superb. The orchestra awesome, and good sports to the end. Can't be easy playing along to 2000 occasionally-on-key performers. If you love to sing, don't miss this once-a-year event.Written on Dec 16 2008

A beautiful venue for any ocassion, but since my wife had been wanting to go to this event for years I decided to surprise her. We had very good seats through Goldstar(back Orchestra)and the place was almost filled. But trying to follow along with the score(an additional $10.00)when you haven't sung in a choir for over 34 years can be quite a challenge. And this is not a sing-along with the entire L.A. Chorale, no-no, for you the audience truly are the none solo chorus.Written on Dec 24 2008
There were four soloists from the chorale when needed, and for the most part I'd rank their vocal talents from highly acceptable, to needs more work on clarity and projection. But a fun outing in the long run. You might want to even consider staying seated; yes you stand a great deal, and just listen to the many other patrons around you that obviously have done this before, or know their music very well. But when it comes to the Hallelujah Chorus, you will definitely want to join-in; the goosebumps are infectious.

Description
<p>The Los Angeles Master Chorale presented its first Messiah Sing-Along 28 years ago, helping to pioneer the format.

Scores of would-be singers from across the Southland – and those happy to simply observe – converge on Disney Hall to belt out what is no doubt one of the greatest hits of all times.</p>
<p>“It is so much fun to conduct the audience,” says Gershon. “We get some very talented singers in the hall, but lots of folks come just to enjoy the spirit of the evening and Handel’s beautiful music. Anything goes!” Scores are available for sale at the door.</p>
<p>A team of four professional singers from the Chorale performs the solo roles while the rest of the Chorale takes the night off.
