Mesél a bécsi erdő

Every year, Müpa’s annual Advent concert offers a moment of contemplation and helps to evoke the holiday spirit amid the busy period of the festive preparations before Christmas. This year’s concert features the world-renowned German-British baritone, Benjamin Appl, as soloist.

Attendind a performance of Messiah is always a thrilling experience, but it is especially so when Handel’s work – which has become a national classic in England – is performed by a dedicated ensemble like the legendary German flagship of the international early-music scene: the Akademie für Alte Musik Berlin, now with over 44 years of history behind it. The storied chamber orchestra will perform with one of the world’s finest mixed choirs, the RIAS Kammerchor, which also hails from Berlin and was founded in the years immediately following the Second World War.

Overflowing with gorgeous melody and hilarious hijinks, Mozart’s satirical comedy of fickle young love is one of the composer’s most sublime creations.
