Handels Messiah premier, Fishamble Street, Dublin
The original entrance arch to Neals Music Hall, Fishamble Street, Dublin. It was here, at Noon on Tuesday 13th April, 1742, that over 700 men, without their swords, and women, without their hoops, were crammed tightly in to hear the worlds first performance of George Frederic Handels new oratorio Messiah. Sadly, today the archway is all that remains, behind it, a block of modern apartments

EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative print transports us back in time to the historic moment when George Frederic Handel's groundbreaking oratorio, Messiah, premiered for the first time. The image captures the original entrance arch to Neal's Music Hall, located on Fishamble Street in Dublin, Ireland. On April 13, 1742, over 700 men, without their swords, and women, without their hoops, eagerly gathered at this very spot, crammed tightly to witness the world's inaugural performance of this masterpiece. The excitement and anticipation of the crowd is palpable, as they prepared to experience the musical innovation that would go on to captivate audiences for centuries to come. Sadly, today, only the entrance arch remains as a testament to this significant historical event. Behind it, a modern block of apartments now stands, a stark contrast to the humble and cramped conditions that once housed the passionate and curious audience. This image serves as a poignant reminder of the rich musical history that unfolded here, and the enduring legacy of Handel's Messiah.
