Seen by over 14,600 audience, the Merry Opera is going on our 15th tour of the staged Messiah by George Frideric Handel: Twelve strangers seek spiritual comfort in their struggle to understand the world. Singing together in a church, they inspire each other to pick up the ragged ends of their faith and look to the future with hope.

The Precincts

A young man finds himself in a strange and bizarre world peopled by bird-men, monsters, magic beings, mad scientists and even madder monarchs. Armed only with the power of Music, our hero sets out on a quest to save a beautiful princess from Evil - but then everything turns upside down all over again. Merry Opera's epic production of the world's most beloved opera features a multi-talented virtuoso cast of only seven people taking on multiple roles, making this the biggest smallest mega-show you've ever seen and heard.
