Nearby Messiah by Candlelight

 
 
Messiah by CandlelightFollowing a sold-out performance in 2010, four acclaimed soloists join the London Philharmonic Choir in full 18th-century costume to perform Handel's grand choral masterpiece in an evocative candle-lit style setting at Royal Festival Hall. Messiah is the Baroque composer's most famous creation and amongst the most popular works in Western choral literature, presenting Jesus's life and its significance according to Christian doctrine. It has become something of a tradition to perform Handel's greatest and most popular oratorio during Advent, with the famous 'Hallelujah' chorus ringing out through churches and concert halls throughout the lead-up to Christmas. Here at this one-off Southbank Centre performance, Oliver Gooch conducts the Mozart Festival Orchestra, with vocal performances from Helen-Jane Howells (soprano), Julia Riley (mezzo-soprano), Nicky Spence (tenor) and James Oldfield (bass).
