Music video for "Christmas Oratorio - Scenes of a Sleepless Night" 14 soloists from the Deutsche Oper am Rhein make their way to the Düsseldorf Opera House: Together with the choir of the Deutsche Oper am Rhein and the Düsseldorf Symphony Orchestra under the direction of General Music Director Axel Kober, they sing and play Johann Sebastian Bach's “Christmas Oratorio” in “Scenes of a Sleepless Night”. A music-theatrical version of the well-known oratorio by Johann Sebastian Bach was created for the new production of the Deutsche Oper am Rhein: “Christmas Oratorio - Scenes from a Sleepless Night” will premiere on December 11, 2021 at the Düsseldorf Opera House. A total of eleven performances are on the program until January 22, 2022. The director and FAUST Prize winner Elisabeth Stöppler puts the musically told Christmas story into a secular context: A child whose birth promises redemption is born right next door today in the middle of the city. A perfectly normal child, charged with the hopes of many. The news spreads like wildfire, triggers a wide variety of reactions and sets an entire city community in motion. In Johann Sebastian Bach's clear and intimate musical language, various voices have their say, reacting immediately to an event that then as now means 'new beginning'. In a team with Annika Haller (stage design), Su Sigmund (costumes) and Anna Melcher (dramaturgy), the director dedicates herself to snapshots and close-ups of people from a secular urban society and lets them tell of their longing for collective commitment and closeness, of loneliness and failure, of hope and love. // Johann Sebastian Bach CHRISTMAS ORATORIO Scenes from a sleepless night A music-theatrical version by Elisabeth Stöppler, Anna Melcher, Gerhard Michalski and Axel Kober with spoken texts by Hannah Dübgen.
