Wales Millennium Centre hosts 'Mega Messiah' for 1,000
It is the first time Handel's Messiah has been performed at the centre
It has been called the "Mega Messiah", a performance of Handel's classic work from 1741, featuring about 1,000 voices.
The charity event takes place at the Wales Millennium Centre in Cardiff and it is hoped it will become an annual one.
The idea has worked successfully at London's Royal Albert Hall, but this is the first time it has been staged on this scale in Wales.
The public will make up the huge choir.
Organisers said it would gave people with an interest in singing the opportunity to rehearse and perform one of the world's most famous oratorios.
Production manager Viv Goldberg said there were a few places remaining for singers to take part, but they had to be able to follow music.

Cool! I'd love to be part of something like that. I've performed the Messiah as one of a hundred plus voices, but 1000? Awesome!
For me, it is far better to grasp the Universe as it really is than to persist in delusion, however satisfying and reassuring.
