This composition by American minimalist composer John Adams is his take on the Christmas Oratorio: a large-scale music theatre work entitIed El niño. How does one actualIy ceIebrate Christs birth in a land where palm trees and race conflicts fIourish in sunny California? Perhaps the way composer John Adams and director Peter SeIlars portray it at the beginning of EI Niño (La Nativité), which was first performed nine days before Christmas 2000 at theParisian Théâtre du ChâteIet: with a tree and festoons of Iights. Their interpretation is supported briIIiantly by Dawn Upshaw, Lorraine Hunt Lieberson and WiIIard White in the main roIes. |
