Join the MSO and an all-Australian cast for Handel’s Messiah – a Christmas tradition and must-hear for many concertgoers.

Sir James MacMillan leads a deeply-considered performance of a work that has been a staple of the MSO concert season throughout a 120-year history.

The starring soprano Mia Robinson is an expert in sacred choral music – and a local Melburnian. She sings alongside mezzo-soprano Stephanie Dillon, who has previously conquered the heights of Bach’s St John Passion and Monteverdi’s Vespers .

Louis Hurley and David Greco bring their familiar but world-class voices into those deeper-pitched roles of tenor and baritone, while this mammoth-scale Baroque masterpiece will be rounded out with the MSO's very own Chorus.

Merry Christmas to all!
