One of Monaco’s most cherished musical traditions is set to return this autumn: the annual performance of Handel’s Messiah will take place on Saturday 29th November at 7pm, in the atmospheric setting of St. Paul’s Anglican Church.

Led once again by the esteemed Errol Girdlestone, the evening promises to deliver all the power, beauty, and spiritual intensity of this timeless oratorio. Joining him will be the Ristretto Chamber Choir and Orchestra, along with an impressive line-up of soloists: Felicity Murphy (soprano), Imogen Woodhead (alto), Gavan Ring (tenor) and Simon Bailey (bass).

A limited number of tickets may be available on the night at the door, but early booking is strongly recommended — previous performances have sold out well in advance.

Composed in 1741 and first performed in Dublin in 1742, Handel’s Messiah (HWV 56) has become one of the most enduring and beloved works in the classical repertoire. With arias such as I know that my Redeemer liveth and the triumphant Hallelujah Chorus, the oratorio continues to captivate audiences with its soaring melodies and emotional depth more than 250 years after Handel’s death.

St. Paul’s Anglican Church, with its intimate acoustics and historic charm, offers the perfect venue to experience this masterpiece in all its glory.
