This rare 18th-century libretto, compiled by Charles Jennens, was the very one audiences used at the premiere in Dublin’s New Musick Hall, Fishamble Street, to follow along with Handel’s masterpiece. | Pinchgut Opera | Facebook

Erin Helyard visits the Foundling Hospital Museum to see where Handel’s Messiah was performed for the benefit of charity. A place where art and philanthropy came together in the 1750s onwards to raise money for “foundlings,” or children who were found and cared for by others. | Pinchgut Opera
