The ultimate festive event returns with this spine-tinglingly atmospheric recreation of Handel's Messiah as it would have sounded at its 1742 premiere. The scene is set by the dedicated Master of Candles, providing illumination before the musicians appear in their strikingly colourful costumes. This acclaimed Orchestra, whose assembled players are some of the leading performers on period instruments in the UK, create a complete re-enactment of the 18th century concert experience in an exquisite performance of Handel's great celebratory masterpiece.| 9 Dec 12 | Theatre Royal Bath, Bath & North East Somerset Performance Details => Venue archive |
