Handel's Messiah is an Oratorio, which is basically an Opera without a stage. The Messiah is one of the few of Handel's Oratorio's without characters, which leads to the confusion expressed by many people (including yourself).
The oratorio itself has a colorful place in music history; Handel's turning to the genre occured after the British public lost taste for his operas.
