Originally conceived for the Easter season, Messiah, the great Oratorio which illuminates musically the prophecy of the coming and resurrection of Christ, is today associated with the feast of Christmas. Handel composed it in twenty-four days at the end of the year 1741, following a severe physical and moral crisis. The work had its premier in April of the following year in Dublin; Handel having retired there to escape the unfolding controversies in London of which he was the subject.

Handel, through his signature melodies and fullness of harmony, brings together the contemplation of divine mystery, compassion, hope and triumph at its most poignant.

L’Harmonie des saisons will present the traditional Christmas version of Handel’s celebrated Messiah.
