One of the most magnificent achievements in music, Handel’s Messiah is an annual holiday season must-go for music lovers everywhere.

Messiah joins the American Repertory Ballet’s Nutcracker and our own production of Dickens’ A Christmas Carol to constitute an unofficial “Holiday Season Troika” at McCarter.

For the 3rd consecutive year, we join forces with the New Jersey Symphony to offer Handel’s masterpiece at Richardson Auditorium on the Princeton campus.
