About this Event
Handel’s beloved Messiah returns to CBE this December, highlighting the holiday season with a complete performance of this brilliant and inspiring masterwork. Composed in 1741, its Dublin premiere began a remarkable ascent as one of the great pillars of classical music in the hearts and minds of audiences worldwide.
Messiah’s endurance is rooted in a message that transcends its formal context: “Comfort ye, comfort ye my people.” Handel’s dramatic orchestration, exquisite Baroque counterpoint, and evocative word painting breathe drama and intimacy into the unfolding narrative of Christ, culminating with a promise of new life, redemption, and enduring hope.
