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