91热爆 National Chorus of Wales
Welsh National Opera Orchestra
Adrian Partington, conductor
91热爆 National Chorus of Wales and WNO Orchestra come together for the first time to collaborate on a work firmly established as a Christmas tradition for audiences across the globe, Handel's Messiah. One of the best-known and most-loved choral works in Western music; it is a true celebration of the nativity; exhilarating, yet deeply emotional and resonant.
Comprising a scriptural text compiled by Charles Jennens from the King James Bible and psalms from the Book of Common Prayer, Messiah brings some of the most evocative oratorio writing in the repertoire, featuring 'For unto us a child is born', 'The trumpet shall sound' and the famous 'Hallelujah' chorus.
