On Thursday 13 April 1742, composer sensation George Frideric Handel premiered his Messiah at the Great Music Hall in Dublin's Fishamble Street - such an hot ticket that men were asked to leave their swords at home, and women were asked not to wear hoops in their dresses to ensure as many people as possible could fit into the Hall.

281 years later to the day, less than a mile away on Dawson Street, Handel will be back in town, leading the people of Dublin in song once again.

On Saturday 25 March 2023, Choir of the Earth will bring its popular UK & Ireland Messiah Tour to Norwich. The international Choir is usually based exclusively online but will welcome singers from near and far to come and sing choruses from Handel’s Messiah at St Peter Mancroft Church.
