First performed in 1742, the Messiah (HWV 56) is an oratorio for choir, soloists and orchestra that remains one of the greatest musical masterpieces of all times. The work contains many well-known arias, breath-taking choruses, and conveys an emotional intensity that still thrills us to this day, more than 250 years after the composer’s death. This annual concert, renowned in the region, is one of the essential dates in the calendar of the Principality in the weeks leading up to Christmas.
