Celebrate the holiday season with a rarely performed work that celebrates Latin American poets and voices of women. The American Modern Opera Company’s (AMOC) production of contemporary composer John Adams’ El Niño: Nativity Reconsidered with libretto by Peter Sellars and concept by Julia Bullock is a chamber music arrangement. The New York Times calls it “intimate, affecting and quietly rich with activism.” The work delves into Christ's Nativity through Latin American poetry as it questions the established European interpretation of the Nativity story.
The cast of this Christmas oratorio features company members soprano Julia Bullock, countertenor Anthony Roth Costanzo, bass-baritone Davóne Tines, violinists Miranda Cuckson and Keir GoGwilt, cellist Coleman Itzkoff, bassist Doug Balliett, percussionist Jonny Allen, pianist Conor Hanick, with special guests, including Jasmin White, contralto. See the West Coast premiere of this work at Bing Concert Hall this December.
