National Concert Hall, Friday 15th April
Composed for, and first heard in, Dublin 280 years ago, Handel’s Messiah is an exultant, overpowering masterpiece ablaze with beautiful solo arias and monumental choruses without compare.
Though now a fixture of the Christmas repertoire, it was originally intended for performance at Easter and was first heard on the Good Friday of 1742. Drawing on the Old and New Testaments, its three parts separately relate the story of Christ’s birth, death and resurrection
Hailed as ‘one of the finest Baroque conductors of his generation’ (The Independent), Nicholas McGegan leads the National Symphony Orchestra and National Symphony Chorus in a Good Friday offering not to be missed.
