No, no, that's just Wagner you're thinking of. Handel is even better:
everyone who's alive sings a happily-ever-after chorus along with the dead
guys who the live guys have killed earlier, who get miraculously
resuscitated for the occasion! Who needs spoilers for that? (and it's the
same at the end of almost every Handel opera).
