Messiah is not a typical Handel oratorio; there are no named characters, as are usually found in Handel’s setting of the Old Testament stories, possibly to avoid charges of blasphemy. It is a meditation rather than a drama of personalities, lyrical in method; the narration of the story is carried on by implication, and there is no dialogue.
Messiah (HWV 56) [1] [n 1] is an English-language oratorio composed in 1741 by George Frideric Handel.The text was compiled from the King James Bible and the Coverdale Psalter [n 2] by Charles Jennens.
