The beautiful grounds of Lac de la Lune in Franschhoek will be opened for the first time to host a special Christmas presentation of Handel’s Messiah on Sunday 4 December at 4.30pm
The Messiah, undoubtedly one of the most well loved pieces of sacred music, was also a favorite of the composer who wrote it in just 24 days. Handel is regarded as one of the most respected composers of all time, receiving recognition from the likes of Mozart, Beethoven and Haydn who said, “He is indeed, the father of us all.”
