GF Handel: Messiah

As ubiquitous to the season as minced pies and mulled wine, Handel’s Messiah is deservedly one of the most popular choral works ever written. The work’s arias are both emotive and theatrical; its rousing choruses exhilarating. Dunedin Consort and Players, directed by its music director John Butt, presents its annual performance of this work at a time of the year in which its life affirming message will resonate the most, the celebration of Christmas.
