Handel's Messiah performed live by candlelight this Christmas in Piccadilly

The Piccadilly Sinfonietta provides the orchestral backdrop as Susan Parkes and additional operatic soloists take on Handel's vocal writing, all surrounded by the warm glow of candlelight.
Whether Messiah is already part of your Christmas tradition or you're hearing Handel live for the first time, take your seat, settle into the candlelight and let the Hallelujahs begin.
