Messiah HWV 56

Approved

This unique and highly acclaimed staged production of Handel's Messiah, now in its sixteenth tour, has already been seen by over 12,000 people across the UK....

Merry Opera’s Staged Messiah Returns!

It’s been almost four and a half years since we brought our greatly beloved Staged Messiah to churches across the country. Finally, we are thrilled to announce we will be returning to churches this Easter period!

Bringing to life Handel’s most famous oratorio, this production takes you on a journey of faith, redemption and the path of Birth, Death and Resurrection as you have never experienced before. Through John Ramster’s unique staging, twelve superb opera singers step out from behind the music to share Handel’s work with you in a new and dazzling light.

‘…the cast’s clean, searing vocal power ensures a fabulous sound, while the dynamic physicality of the performance makes the score explode all around you, all the time…’ Operissima, Charlotte Valori
