You are here: What's On > Handel's Messiah at Chelmsford Cathedral

About

Following a sell-out tour in 2023 (★★★★★ Opera Now, ★★★★ The Guardian), Wild Arts bring their fresh, innovative staging of Handel's legendary telling of the Christmas story to Chelmsford Cathedral this December.

Performing their solos from memory, star singers bring music and story to life, with staging devised by theatre and opera director Tom Morris (Breaking the Waves, Dr Semmelweis, War Horse). The musicians of the Wild Arts Ensemble, playing on instruments similar to the ones that would have been around when Handel was composing his masterpiece, are directed by Wild Arts' Artistic Director Orlando Jopling in this enthralling production.
