"This oratorio far surpasses anything of its kind that has ever been performed in this or any other kingdom," wrote the newspapers when George Frideric Handel's oratorio "Messiah" premiered in Dublin in 1742. Indeed, it is not difficult to imagine the profound impression this work must have made on the Irish audience at its premiere. Even today, it is easy to be overwhelmed by this oratorio, which is as powerful in sound as it is multifaceted. With fresh musicality, soloists, the Chamber Choir of the Frankfurt University of Music and Performing Arts, and the Cappella Academica Frankfurt will bring this monumental work to life in June in the Basilica of Eberbach Monastery.
