I’m looking forward to singing the roles of Gabriel and Eve in Haydn’s extraordinary oratorio, about the beginnings of time (according to the Old Testament). Having just introduced my son to Kronos, Gaia and the Ancient Greek story of the beginning, and the fascinating idea of nothing before the magnitude of the Big Bang, you don’t need to be 9 years old to be fascinated by the beginnings of everything! Just the methods Haydn used for the advent of light under the rules of the Classical Period is worth a ticket.
