Messiah (Belfast)

A stellar line up of soloists joins the singers and instrumentalists of the Ulster Consort to give the annual performance of Handel’s most famous work, Messiah. The Ulster Consort uses small forces and period instruments in an historically informed and exciting way, creating a soundscape similar to that which Handel would have experienced at the first performance in Dublin, in 1742.
