On Friday April 13th, the annual celebration to mark the premiere of Handel’s Messiah will take place in Temple Bar on the site of its original performance 270 years ago.

Temple Bar Cultural Trust has once again organised a celebratory event, offering people of all ages the opportunity to interact with the remarkable history of George Frideric Handel and his connections to Temple Bar and Dublin. The much-loved performance of Messiah on the Street takes place at 1pm in the Old City Area of Temple Bar beside the original performance site of the old Musick Hall on Fishamble Street, where Messiah premiered.

Conducted by Proinnsías Ó Duinn, this special and unique open-air performance by Our Lady’s Choral Society (OLCS) is an event not to be missed. The annual concert attracts everyone from music enthusiasts and families with young children to visiting tourists and street ramblers seeking an enjoyable and engaging day of music, history and culture.

Loosen up the vocal cords, raise the hands in the air and come down and join us in singing Hallelujah on the cobbled streets of Dublin’s Cultural Quarter!

Messiah on the Street is free and is one of thousands of free cultural events that take place throughout the year in Temple Bar!
