Royal Melbourne Philharmonic Choir & Orchestra present Handel’s iconic Messiah for the world record 242nd time since 1853. After a long period of lockdowns in Melbourne, join us for a triumphant return to live performance as the RMP returns to its spiritual home at the grand Melbourne Town Hall.  Experience the excitement of a live performance of the world’s most-loved oratorio, famous for its sparkling arias, powerful choruses and surging climaxes (including the magnificent Hallelujah! chorus and the equally thrilling Amen! chorus which concludes the work, featuring the power of the RMP Choir and Orchestra, and the mighty Town Hall’s Grand Organ). 
Featuring over 100 talented musicians from the Royal Melbourne Philharmonic Choir and Orchestra, the grand Town Hall organ, and a magnificent cast of outstanding soloists, this concert promises to thrill as ever under the direction of Andrew Wailes – widely regarded as one of Australia’s foremost exponents of this great work.
The brilliant and much-loved soprano Jacqueline Porter will be joined by one of Australia’s favourite mezzo-sopranos, Dimity Shepherd.  Performing the much-loved tenor solos will be Gramophone award-winning English tenor, Richard Butler. Rounding out a superb cast will be Opera Australia principal baritone, Christopher Hillier.The RMP’s annual performance of this masterpiece is a much-anticipated highlight of Melbourne’s concert calendar. Don’t miss being part of this wonderful musical tradition.
“Wailes made sure that the pace did not slacken… Wailes, who cuts a dapper, self-possessed figure on the podium, showed an impressive compulsion, driving his forces along with insistent power. It is hard to recall when this oratorio has been treated with such attention given to its dramatic potential; no singer – soloist or chorister – was given latitude to generate that fruity and orotund timbre familiar from performances of 20 years ago.”   Clive O’Connell (The Age)
