Hailed as โ€œintelligent, emotional and sometimes magicalโ€ by the BBC, John Adamsโ€™s oratorio ๐˜Œ๐˜ญ ๐˜•๐˜ชรฑ๐˜ฐ imagines a modern-day miracle, retelling the story of Handelโ€™s ๐˜”๐˜ฆ๐˜ด๐˜ด๐˜ช๐˜ข๐˜ฉ through a constellation of references from medieval chant to contemporary Latin American poetry. In conversation, President & CEO Andrรฉ Gremillet welcomes audiences to Severance Hall and asks Adams about his inspiration for this expressive, brilliant, and profoundly human work.
