Monaco's St. Paul's Anglican Church to Host Annual Handel's Messiah Performance

The annual performance of Handel’s Messiah at St. Paul’s Anglican Church, scheduled for 7 pm on Saturday, 23rd November, promises to be a highlight of Monaco's cultural calendar. Under the baton of Errol Girdlestone, the evening will feature the talents of soloists Elenor Bowers-Jolley, Clint van der Linde, Andrew Gavin, and Thomas Dear, accompanied by the distinguished Ristretto Chamber Choir and Orchestra.

George Frideric Handel’s Messiah, composed in 1741, remains a cornerstone of choral music, renowned for its intricate arias and dramatic choruses, including the iconic Hallelujah Chorus. The composition’s themes of joy and celebration are particularly resonant during the festive season, offering a profound auditory experience in the lead-up to Christmas.

Set within the historic and acoustically refined St. Paul’s Anglican Church on avenue de Grande Bretagne, the concert provides an intimate setting that complements the grandeur of Handel’s work. Tickets for this cherished seasonal tradition are available for €30 and can be purchased online or by phone at 06 83 53 23 50, attracting both local residents and international visitors to Monaco’s scenic locale.
