Haydn's The Creation
To mark the Barbican Centre's fortieth anniversary, Haydn's The Creation, starring soprano Lucy Crowe, tenor Andrew Staples and baritone Roderick Williams.
Haydn's The Creation conducted by Harry Christophers with the London Symphony Chorus and Orchestra and an all-star team of soloists.
In a performance sung in English to mark the fortieth anniversary of the Barbican Centre.
Out of chaos comes wonder; from darkness, light. Haydn鈥檚 oratorio The Creation is more than just a gloriously tuneful retelling of the Book of Genesis. Inspired by Haydn鈥檚 visits to London and the optimism of the Enlightenment, it鈥檚 a celebration of the act of creativity itself, overflowing with majesty, humour and the joy of life.
With its famous depictions of Chaos through the dawning of light to a tawny lion, a flexible tiger and a nimble stag and the great chorus, 鈥楾he Heavens are telling鈥�, the work has been a favourite since its first performance some 224 years ago.
