About The Concert

Rejoice! Handel's treasured sacred work, which has long been a beloved holiday staple, returns to the Winspear stage. This classic Christmas tradition, composed in 1741, will put you in the holiday mood with its splendid arias, powerful recitatives, and glorious choral sections, including the famous "Hallelujah" chorus. Conducted by Timothy Shantz, featuring the Richard Eaton Singers with your ESO.

This concert will be approximately 2.5 hours with an intermission.
