Klein commemorated the turn of the century with one of his biggest productions, a multimedia collage pairing multiple live versions of George Frideric Handel’s famous oratorio with irreverent documentary glimpses into the daily lives of its performers. Shot initially in U.S. cities including Detroit and Las Vegas, before expanding internationally to Dublin, South Africa, and beyond.
