Composer William Byrd was a covert Catholic facing brutal persecution during the Counter-Reformation in the 16th century. Hear Byrd’s Mass for Five Voices as he intended: sung for worship in strictest secrecy.

Early music phenoms The Gesualdo Six make their MB1800 debut from Britain in this landmark performance that continues to tour the world. Don’t miss this rare opportunity to experience this immersive staged mass inside the largest cathedral in the world.

Guaranteed seating is limited. Audiences are encouraged to move around the space and experience the performance on foot. See ticketing page for details.

‘Profound, spiritual, and beautiful… Secret Byrd mixes music, history and drama, and what emerges is an experience that is neither concert nor theatre, but something out of life itself.’
