JUBILANT | SEASONAL | SPIRITUAL
Start your Christmas this year with one of the best-known and most-loved choral works in Western music, Handel’s Messiah.
Firmly established as a Christmas tradition for audiences across the globe, Handel’s Messiah is a true celebration of the nativity; exhilarating yet deeply emotional and resonant. Comprising a scriptural text compiled by Charles Jennens from the King James Bible and psalms from the Book of Common Prayer, Messiah brings some of the most evocative oratorio writing in the repertoire featuring ‘For unto us a child is born’, ‘The trumpet shall sound’ and the famous ‘Hallelujah’ chorus.
Join the ´óÏó´«Ã½ National Orchestra and Chorus of Wales, alongside world renowned conductor John Butt for a truly jubilant festive experience!
