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).
