Handel's Messiah
Handel's Messiah is a timeless masterpiece that has captivated audiences since its premiere in Dublin in 1742. Composed in just 24 days, it tells the story of the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus Christ through a stunning display of choruses, arias, and recitatives.

Reviews
- "Messiah is a monumental work that takes a lot of skill to bring off: I think the choir, soloists and orchestra did that on Saturday evening."
- "I especially loved the Hallelujah Chorus and found it quite emotional. It was lovely to see everyone standing and singing together especially in these uncertain times."
- "I was thrilled by the sound of the soloists and by the exquisite conducting by Patrick Brennan."
