Israel in Egypt

Handel’s choral masterpiece Israel in Egypt brings to life the plagues, miracles and jubilation of the Exodus story. Israel in Egypt’s exuberant choruses showcase Handel’s genius for drama and storytelling – from the plagues of flies, frogs and hailstones, to Moses’ parting of the Red Sea.
The performance of this extraordinary chorus-laden work in Southwark Cathedral by the Royal Choral Society – accompanied by the London Handel Orchestra and a stellar line up of soloists, and conducted by Richard Cooke – lives long in the memory!
