MESSIAH
HANDEL
Jennens from the King James Version of the Bible
NEW PRODUCTION
Marking the return of award-winning director Deborah Warner and
conducted by leading Handelian Laurence Cummings, Messiah
features top tenor John Mark Ainsley, as well as a major role for the
incomparable ENO Chorus. For almost a quarter of a century,
from Nicholas Hytner’s Olivier Award-winning Xerxes to Christopher
Alden’s Olivier Award-winning Partenope in 2008, ENO has been
the undisputed ‘House of Handel’. With its powerfully emotive stagings
of Bach’s St John Passion and Verdi’s Requiem, ENO has also won a
reputation for bringing sacred masterworks to vivid dramatic life. Now,
to mark the 250th anniversary of the composer’s death, ENO says
‘Hallelujah’ to Handel by welcoming his greatest and most popular
oratorio onto the London Coliseum stage.
