Sydney Philharmonia Choirs present MESSIAH at the Concert Hall, Sydney Opera House

Sydney Philharmonia Choirs return to Sydney Opera House with three unmissable performances, bringing the strength of 650 voices to one of classical music's most loved compositions.

The grandest presentation of Messiah to have ever taken place in Australia, Sydney Philharmonia's Christmas production brings the members of their specialist Symphony Chorus and VOX Choirs - known for their exemplary performances alongside Sydney Symphony Orchestra - together with the 460 choristers who have joined the organisation's Christmas Choir, specifically to learn and perform in this much-loved bi-annual extravaganza.

Joining the chorus for this limited season are leading Australian soloists Miriam Allan, Helen Sherman, Andrew Goodwin and David Greco, with instrumentation provided by the Sydney Philharmonia Orchestra, led by Fiona Ziegler and featuring trumpet soloist Paul Goodchild.

Acclaimed Australian conductor Elizabeth Scott will lead the delivery of this stunning program in the ultimate surrounds of the Sydney Opera House Concert Hall.

The first female Australian conductor to present Messiah on the Concert Hall stage, 43-year-old Scott's says the season marks a high point in her career, and will draw on all aspects of her diverse experience as musician, vocalist, choir master and music director.

Book now for one of only three performances - 8pm Thursday and Friday 14 and 15 December, and 1pm Saturday 16 December. Tickets are available from $49 at https://purchase.sydneyphilharmonia.com.au/

A free pre-concert talk, hosted by Fine Music FM 102.5, will be held in the foyer 45 minutes prior to each performance, with all ticket holders welcome.

Sydney Philharmonia Choirs Music Director, Brett Weymark, will also present an overview of the 2018 season.
