In December 2026, soprano Olga Zinovieva will perform in two concert tours throughout the Netherlands: Handel’s Messiah and Classical Christmas.

Messiah is Handel’s most famous work, rivalled in popularity only by his Water Music, and remains a beloved masterpiece among classical music lovers worldwide.

This monumental oratorio will be performed by The Bach Choir & Orchestra of the Netherlands. The orchestra plays on authentic Baroque instruments, including period string instruments, natural trumpets and timpani, bringing Handel’s magnificent score to life with brilliance and authenticity.

A total of 14 Messiah concerts will take place, with performances in December 2026 and two additional concerts in March 2027. The concerts will be held at prestigious venues, including the AFAS Theater Leusden, the Concertgebouw Amsterdam, and some of the most beautiful historic churches in the Netherlands.

Handel’s Messiah is one of the most cherished oratorios of all time, particularly during the Christmas season. From the joyful proclamation of Christ’s birth to the magnificent Hallelujah Chorus, its powerful music continues to inspire and move audiences around the world.

Don’t miss this opportunity to experience Handel’s timeless masterpiece, performed by outstanding soloists, choir and orchestra under the direction of Pieter Jan Leusink.
