John Adams' New Messiah at the Concertgebouw

演出简介

John Adams' 'El Niño', the Christmas oratorio of our time, tells the story of the birth of Christ, but from the perspective of the mother with a contemporary twist.

Often politically charged, the work goes beyond the usual Bible stories to explore more universal themes using old and new texts and poetry in English, Latin, and Spanish: an experience of uninhibited beauty.
