Overview

A triumph of the baroque period

Usher in the beginning of the festive season with a traditional favourite: Handel’s enduring Messiah. His most famous oratorio, a religious text set to music and sung but not acted, tells the story of the birth and death of Christ. 

From the majestic Hallelujah Chorus to the celestial conclusion, the magnificent piece marries baroque grandeur with an uplifting and transcendental spiritual message. 

Don’t miss one of the world’s most loved masterpieces.
