Overview
Messiah is the oratorio that George Frideric Handel composed in 1741 to a libretto by Charles Jennens based on texts from the Old and New Testaments, and one of the best-known choral works in the Baroque repertoire.
Messiah (HWV 56) is an oratorio in three parts by George Frideric Handel, born in Halle and settled in England. It premiered in Dublin in 1742 and is structured into arias, recitatives and choruses for soloists, choir and orchestra. Its most widely known excerpt, the 'Hallelujah' chorus, belongs to the second part.
This production is presented in Barcelona as El Messies de Händel and features the RIAS Kammerchor, a chamber choir based in Berlin. The repertoire centres on the work of Handel, with the choir as the focus of the ensemble.
The concert takes place at the Palau de la Música Catalana, a modernist building by Lluís Domènech i Montaner, built between 1905 and 1908 and inscribed on the UNESCO World Heritage List in 1997. The venue also hosts exhibitions and cultural activities. The event is aimed at anyone looking for the Baroque oratorio in a choral version.
