A three-hundred-year-old Christmas smash hit, Handel’s peerless oratorio is the perfect holiday season gift for concertgoers of every kind.
With international Baroque specialist Nicholas McGegan at the helm, the NZSO combines with the cream of Wellington’s choral talent in the NZSO Messiah Chorale and a host of jewel-bright opera stars to herald the joys of Christmas.
Beloved Kiwi soprano Anna Leese makes a magnificent homecoming, while Australian mezzo soprano Sally Anne Russell, bass James Clayton and tenor Steve Davislim add their talents to our cast. This spine-tingling concert ends our year on a soaring high note. (Source: NZSO)
