Handel's Messiah Caught in Chinese Religious Crackdown

China's crackdown on Christianity is being expanded to include even classical works of music if their themes are Christian, such as Handel's "Messiah" and Mozart's "Requiem," according to the London Telegraph. The report said the Academy of Ancient Music, a leading orchestral and choral group in Britain, was invited to sing Handel's "Messiah" at the Beijing International Music Festival this month. While authorities are allowing the performance to go on, the report said, it will be "by invitation only," a move effectively barring members of the public.
