No Christmas would be complete without a performance of Handel’s ‘Messiah’. Sparkling arias, majestic choirs and unfiltered emotion: this ambitious oratorio tells the story of the birth of the baby Jesus in an exceptionally brilliant manner. Since the premiere in 1742, the work has been lauded worldwide.
Handel’s ‘Messiah’ is also a model of compositional creativity and musical inventiveness. The work displays pure mastery. Today it is one of the most famous and most performed choral works in Western musical history. Audience favourites such as ‘And the Glory of the Lord’ and the famous ‘Hallelujah Chorus’ are a guarantee of musical fireworks, both on and offstage.
