Event Description
One of the most popular choral works ever written, Messiah has captivated audiences for nearly three hundred years with its glorious choruses, radiant arias and moving storytelling. From the joyful ‘For Unto Us a Child Is Born’ to the triumphant ‘Hallelujah Chorus’, Handel’s music combines breathtaking beauty with extraordinary emotional depth.
Eight exceptionally talented singers perform the entire work from memory with staging devised by acclaimed theatre and opera director Tom Morris (Breaking the Waves, Dr Semmelweis, War Horse).
Accompanied by the musicians of the Wild Arts Ensemble playing period instruments and directed from the harpsichord by Wild Arts’ Artistic Director Orlando Jopling, this compelling production has won standing ovations across the country. Combining world-class musicianship with vivid storytelling, it offers a fresh take on one of the greatest works in the choral repertoire and will appeal both to those who know the work well and those discovering it for the first time.
