The Mil·lenni Festival brings Händel's choral masterpiece to Barcelona. Performed by the Orquestra Filharmonia Ibèrica and the Coral Polifònica de Puig-reig, conducted by Melani Mestre, the concert will take place in the impressive Basilica of Santa Maria del Mar. Composed in 1741 and premiered in Dublin the following year, this oratorio, based on biblical texts, has gained popularity and is one of the most iconic pieces of Western music. The performance will feature the outstanding soloists Natasha Tupin (soprano) and Beñat Egiarte (tenor), and seeks to immerse the audience in the spirituality and beauty that has made Messiah a timeless Christmas classic.
