Barenreiter edition - Besides the Messiah, Theodora is Handel’s only oratorio with a Christian theme. In contrast to the Messiah, Theodora, which was composed in 1749 and premiered in 1750 in London, takes a dramatic plot as its basis. The setting for the action is Antioch during the time of the Emperor Diocletian. The Christians refuse to take part in the heathen sacrificial cult, preferring to die a martyr’s death. The plot concentrates on the virtuous Theodora.
