Handel’s Messiah has delighted audiences worldwide since its premiere in Dublin in 1742. It has enjoyed a long and varied performance history, ranging from the original small-scale performances to the huge blockbuster presentations of the Victorian era. The Tudor Consort joins forces with players from the Vector Wellington Orchestra to present Messiah with the smaller forces that Handel intended, with the dramatic momentum of the operatic stage never far away. 25 voices, 22 instruments, and a quartet of soloists led by 2005 Lexus Song Quest winner Madeleine Pierard, will make for a breathtaking performance that you will not forget.
The Tudor consort presents Handel’s Messiah with soloists Madeleine Pierard (soprano), Nicola Hooper (alto), Edmund Hintz (tenor), and Hadleigh Adams (bass), with the Vector Wellington Orchestra directed by Michael Stewart. Tickets are selling fast so book yours today!
