Lincoln Cathedral Choir, musicians and soloists perform Handel's famous oratorio Messiah inside Lincoln Cathedral.
Handel's Messiah comes to Lincoln Cathedral on Saturday 21 November, with the performance running from 7:00 pm to 9:30 pm and doors opening at 6:30 pm. It's the composer's most famous work, an oratorio known for its powerful choruses, beautiful solo moments and stirring final chorus.
The staging leans on the building's own choir, and the setting is the point: there's something uniquely special about hearing the work resound through the Cathedral, where the music and the surroundings come together to make the evening both spectacular and deeply moving. The performance is run through the Lincoln Cathedral Learning, Arts, Culture and Events CIO, a registered charity, and the audience sits in allocated seating.
