Handel's Messiah: Royal Melbourne Philharmonic

Royal Melbourne Philharmonic presents Handel’s iconic Messiah for the 247th time since 1853.

The world’s most-loved oratorio, Messiah is famous for its sparkling arias, virtuosic choruses, and surging climaxes (including the magnificent Hallelujah Chorus, and the thrilling Amen Chorus which concludes the work). Featuring over 120 talented musicians from the RMP Choir and Orchestra, the grand Town Hall organ, and a magnificent cast of outstanding Australian and International soloists, this concert promises to thrill as ever under the direction of RMP Chief Conductor Andrew Wailes – widely regarded as one of Australia’s foremost exponents of this great work. The RMP’s annual performance of this masterpiece is a much-anticipated highlight of Melbourne’s concert calendar. Don’t miss being part of this wonderful musical tradition.
