Berliner Philharmoniker: L’enfance du Christ
A nostalgic, homegrown classical night.
Herbert-von-Karajan-Straße 1, 10785 Berlin, Germany
A Christmas oratorio à la française. In L’Enfance du Christ, Hector Berlioz tells the story following the birth of Jesus: the visit of the Three Kings to the cruel King Herod and the escape of the Holy Family to Egypt, where they finally find refuge. Berlioz’s music combines operatic drama with quiet devotion, luminous orchestral colors with magnificent choruses. The work brought the composer great success. With it, Maxime Pascal, one of the musical directors of the Deutsche Oper Berlin, makes his debut with the Berliner Philharmoniker.
