As well as their concert performances, they have staged the entirety of Purcell's Dido and Aeneas and Handel's Acis and Galatea.

The concert will be performed on period instruments from the time of Handel.
Originally composed in 1742, Messiah features many of Handel's most famous choruses and arias, including the Hallelujah chorus, and is now one of the most performed works of classical music of all time.
