Performance NotesThe Royal Choral Society presents its Traditional Good Friday performance of Handel's 'Messiah'.

The Royal Choral Society’s performance of Handel’s Messiah at the Royal Albert Hall forms an important part of Great Britain’s choral tradition. For 132 years, the RCS has given the Good Friday performance of the world’s favourite sacred work in London’s greatest concert venue. They continue this great tradition here at the Royal Albert Hall next Good Friday.
