This page is also available in / Cette page est également disponible en: Français (French)

A beloved holiday tradition returns to Southam Hall: Handel’s Messiah, performed by the NAC Orchestra and an all-Canadian cast of singers. Gather your closest friends and loved ones for an evening of music and celebration that everyone will enjoy!

Few compositions kindle the warmth and spirit of the holiday season like George Frideric Handel’s Messiah and its electrifying “Hallelujah” chorus. Evoking the theatrical splendour that has made Messiah a favourite of audiences around the world for nearly 300 years, conductor Jean-Sebastien Vallée and the NAC Orchestra join forces with local choirs and a quartet of outstanding Canadian soloists for Handel’s miraculous meditation on faith, hope, and redemption.
