Event details

Handel's Messiah comes to Holmens Kirke with the period-instrument specialists of the Orchestra of the Age of Enlightenment, joined by Mogens Dahl Kammerkor under Mogens Dahl. The oratorio unfolds in three parts, moving from the anticipation of Jesus' birth through his suffering to the redemption of the resurrection.

The performance features four soloists: soprano Elsa Benoit, contralto Cecelia Hall, tenor Robin Tritschler and bass Dominic Barberi. It is billed as a season highlight and a fitting prelude to Christmas.
