| Performance Notes | The annual performance of Handels sacred oratorio Messiah returned to the Hall as part of our 2020 Christmas season. Having featured on our programme since 1871 and been performed in full 524 times on our stage (as of December 2019), Handels Messiah is a true Royal Albert Hall tradition.
This year, the concert featured the sublime voices of the Philharmonia Chorus, accompanied by majestic sounds of the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra, combined with special guest vocalists Francesca Chiejina, Katie Bray, Trystan Llyr Griffiths and Dingle Yandell.
This event had a socially distanced audience, in accordance with government guidelines and was the last main auditorium event held before the Hall was closed again because of Tier 3 Covid-19 restrictions brought in by the Government from midnight on 16 December 2020.
The event was live streamed to a paying audience online, the first ever Christmas concert at the Hall to be streamed. |
