    Messiah

The evening

We commence the festive period with one of the most celebrated pieces in the classical canon, Handel’s jubilant oratorio. Since 1742, Messiah has secured itself in the Christmas calendar as a true celebration of the nativity. Heaped with beautiful arias including He was Despised and Rejected and I Know that My Redeemer Liveth and rousing choruses like For Unto Us a Child is Born and the ever-popular Hallelujah Chorus. This sublime work offers the quintessential holiday celebration.
