A staged production of Handel’s Messiah by the Merry Opera Company, featuring professional Northern Irish musicians, will take place at eight venues around Northern Ireland in November and December 2024.
Twelve singers play characters who experience transformation from need and despair to understanding and hope as they sing this traditional work.
The Merry Opera Company has been created to open a door for people who find opera hard to access and understand. It aims to widen the appeal of opera by staging professional shows in modern English that break the framework of tradition and can be appreciated by audiences accustomed to music theatre and pantomime, while staying true to the core of the original. For those who love opera, the shows bring fresh interpretations of classic works. For those new to opera, the shows are understandable, interesting and enjoyable. The Merry Opera Company will be performing in major town theatres, pubs, open-air amphitheatres and shopping streets.
