Celebrating
Handel

December 15, 2026 at 7:30PM | Carnegie Hall (Stern Auditorium / Perelman Stage)

This holiday season, MasterVoices lights up Carnegie Hall with the music of George Frideric Handel, featuring two of the most iconic opera stars of their generation: soprano Erin Morley and countertenor Jakub Józef Orliński.

Conducted by artistic director Ted Sperling, Celebrating Handel journeys through worlds of heroes, gods, and lovers, featuring selections from Samson, Theodora, Semele, Giulio Cesare, and more. Featuring the MasterVoices Chorus and the period-instrument ensemble New York Baroque Incorporated, the evening promises a feast of virtuosic singing and Baroque drama.

As “the first operatic superstar to win over Gen Z” (Telegraph Luxury), Polish countertenor, breakdancer, and model Jakub Józef Orliński returns to New York for the first time in five years following an international concert tour. Erin Morley brings her “impressive coloratura technique and a sumptuous sound” (New York Times) to MasterVoices following recent Met Opera appearances in The Magic Flute and La Fille du Régiment. This marks the hotly-anticipated reunion of Morley and Orliński following the Met Opera production of Eurydice.

The concert will conclude with an audience singalong of the Hallelujah Chorus.
