Handel's Messiah at Rochester Cathedral

  • Rochester Cathedral England, ME1 1SJ United Kingdom (map)

Following their sell-out tour in 2023, Wild Arts brings their trademark fresh and innovative approach to Handel's legendary telling of the Christmas story to Rochester Cathedral for the first time.

The period specialist players of the Wild Arts Ensemble join the star singers of the summer opera tour for an innovative version that will bring the music and story to life. Staging will be performed by the company tailored to each venue from a framework devised by theatre and opera director Tom Morris (Breaking the WavesDr Semmelweis, War Horse), with Wild Arts' Artistic Director Orlando Jopling directing from the keyboard.

You are welcome to arrive from 6.30pm and the performance will begin at 7.15pm.

Drinks: The Rochester Crypt Café will be open to serve pre-concert and interval drinks on the night of the performance. The entrance to the Medieval Crypt is located on the south side of the cathedral, and will be clearly signposted.

Duration: approx. 2 hours 30 minutes including interval
