Production details

The 2016 performance of Britain's favourite choral masterpiece will be conducted by Richard Cooke, who this season marks 20 years as conductor of the Royal Choral Society. The choir will be accompanied by the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra and joined by a quartet of superb soloists. It is thought that the Royal Choral Society, the choir that was formed for the opening of the Hall in 1871, has sung Handel's magnificent Messiah more than any other choir - estimated as around 280 times.
