ABOUT THIS EVENT
A secret voice whispered to me:
“In this world there are so few happy and contented people; perhaps your labour will become a source
in which the audience,
riddled with the anxieties of the everyday,
will for a while find peace and solace.”
Franz Joseph Haydn, on the inspiration for “The Creation”
Franz Joseph Haydn’s 1798 oratorio, Die Schöpfung (The Creation), demonstrates the composer at the height of his creative powers, writing in a style that looks back - e.g. through its neo-baroque emulation of Handel’s choruses - while forging imaginative ways to move forward: i.e. from the dramatic perspective.
