About This Event

The atmosphere at The Queen's Hall reverberates with anticipation as audience members settle into their seats for Handel's Messiah. With each note that carries through the grand space, a palpable energy builds, capturing both the musical experience and the enduring magic of this timeless performance. The Hallelujah chorus stands as a testament to its power, yet it is the intricate weaving of voices that underpins its lasting appeal.

It’s no surprise that Handel’s Messiah continues to draw audiences back year after year. There is nothing quite like it. Although the Hallelujah chorus has become the work’s calling card, Handel wrote every note to impress and astound his listeners. Its choruses are as grand as anything Handel ever composed, the solo writing profoundly moving, the drama powerful and compelling. Performed ‘the Dunedin way’ as Handel would have first heard it, with a small orchestra, a team of twelve singers and soloists who step out from the chorus, there are few more uplifting ways to celebrate the festive season. George Frideric Handel Messiah, HWV 56 Matthew Truscott violin & director Rowan Pierce soprano Anita Monserrat mezzo-soprano Ed Lyon tenor Marcus Farnsworth baritone
