Filled with many of Handel's
most glorious musical works, this captivating story reminds us that when you
believe in yourself, you can make a comeback and may even get one last chance.
It's 1742 in Dublin, where
ten-year-old Jamie O'Flaherty and the brilliant composer George Frederic
Handel live. Jamie, who comes from a very poor family, has been caught
stealing and is in jail.
Handel, whose career is failing, needs his
newest composition to be a big hit. By a stroke of destiny, the young
boy and composer become unlikely allies. Handel gets Jamie out of jail
and the boy lends his golden voice to the first performance of the Messiah.
