Saturday 9 December 2023, 7.30pm

Door will open at 6.30pm and there will be drinks available for a pre-concert aperitif as well as during the interval.

Wild Arts bring their trademark fresh and innovative approach to Handel's legendary telling of the Christmas story.

The period specialist players of the Wild Arts Ensemble join the star singers of the summer opera tour for an innovative version that will bring the music and story to life. The performance will include elements of improvised staging devised by the company in a masterclass with theatre and opera director Tom Morris (Dr Semmelweis, Touching the Void, Warhorse).

The perfect way to celebrate Christmas with some timeless music. A cultural treat for all the family.
