Nardus Williams, soprano Jess Dandy, alto Joshua Ellicott, tenor Dingle Yandell, bass John Butt, director It’s no surprise that Handel’s Messiah continues to draw audiences back year after year. There is nothing quite like it. Although the Hallelujah chorus has become the work’s calling card, Handel wrote every note to impress and astound his listeners. Its choruses are as grand as anything Handel ever composed, the solo writing profoundly moving, the drama powerful and compelling. Performed ‘the Dunedin way’ as Handel would have first heard it, with a small orchestra and a team of twelve singers with soloists who step out from the chorus, there are few more uplifting ways to celebrate the festive season. £29.50, £25.50, £20 (inc £2.50 booking fee per ticket) Students/Young Scot/Under 26s £6; 18 and unders go Free (under 16s to be accompanied by an adult)
