Chester Cathedral – Saturday 22nd May 7:30pm
Messiah is one of Handel’s most famous works and is considered to be one of the greatest works in the history of music. It premiered in Dublin on 13 April 1742. However – owing to bad weather delaying the ferry crossing to Ireland – Handel rehearsed the piece in Chester Cathedral.
The 18th Century Concert Orchestra communicates the brilliance and drama of baroque music – combining period instruments – candlelight and resplendent 18th-century attire to present a uniquely atmospheric recreation of 18th-century musical life.

Tickets £25 VIP, £15 adults, £13.50 concession, £5 children under 10
