Description

One of the most famous pieces of music ever written, Handel's Messiah began it's life in Dublin in 1742. Remarkably, not a year has gone by since without Messiah being performed somewhere in the world. Today, beloved by millions, it stands proudly as a keystone of Western classical music.

The Australian Broadcasting Corporation proudly presents the first Australian film recording of Messiah. Made especially for television, DVD and CD, this sumptuous recording took place at the historic St Patrick's Estate (Recipient of a Cultural Heritage Conservation Award by Unesco). The Cerretti Chapel's glorious setting perfectly offsets Handel's music in this exhilarating performance.
