Britain's What's On Event Guide
Suffolk Villages Festival concert - HANDEL Messiah
We present Handel’s great masterpiece in an unfamiliar guise. He wrote Messiah in a hectic few weeks in the summer of 1741 for his visit to Dublin; it was first performed there on 13 April 1742. He later performed the work repeatedly in London, modifying it substantially to accommodate new solo singers and changing circumstances. We recreate the work as heard in Dublin, with a small choir and period-instrument orchestra. SVF favourite Philippa Hyde takes the role created by the Italian soprano
6.30pm. Tickets: £20 & £15 (half-price tickets available to full-time students)
