Messiah HWV 56

Approved

From the rousing rejoicing of its famous 'Hallelujah' chorus to visionary serenity and brooding fury, it’s no wonder that Handel’s Messiah has been an iconic work of choral music for nearly three centuries. Charting the life of Christ in some of the composer’s most compelling musical storytelling, it’s a moving spiritual experience for everyone.

Expect a fresh new vision of this much-loved work, as Principal Conductor Maxim Emelyanychev directs from the harpsichord, alongside a stunning quartet of international vocal soloists. And with the SCO and SCO Chorus reuniting for the first time since 2019, this is truly an occasion for celebration.
