Transferring direct from Glyndebourne’s Autumn Season, the world-class soloists presenting Handel’s sacred oratorio will be soprano Soraya Mafi, mezzo-soprano Claire Barnett-Jones, tenor James Way and bass James Platt.
Tickets go on sale on Friday 26 September at 10am, from the Royal Albert Hall box office.
