The Royal Choral Society has performed Handel's Messiah on Good Friday afternoon at the Royal Albert Hall every year since 1878. The 2014 performance is sure to be just as magnificent as their performance 136 years ago when it established itself as one of the defining interpretations of Great Britain's favourite choral masterpiece. It is thought that the Royal Choral Society has sung the work more than any other choir - estimated as something over 275 times. This is one of London's great Easter traditions and the perfect way to spent Good Friday.
