The Long Christmas Dinner

演出简介

“The Long Christmas Dinner” depicts 90 years in the history of the Bayard family at the Christmas dinner table. The story has a serious undertone, but is lightened by touches of humor and tells about the life of different generations: their demise, growth and choices, creating a colorful summary of human nature.

Paul Hindemith (1895–1963) was one of the most outstanding representatives of German neo‐classicism and one of the most varied 20th century composers. His stirring music and moving arias transport the audience into a world of memory. “Long Christmas Dinner” celebrates the seemingly small and insignificant details of life that ultimately matter the most.
