Christ Church Cathedral
930 Burdett Avenue, Victoria, BC
Program Summary
Handel composed Messiah in just three weeks in 1741, and its message of hope and redemption has echoed ever since. Christ Church Cathedral glows with candlelight as the Victoria Symphony, local choirs and four soloists bring the oratorio to life — a tradition that has sold out two years running.
