The Little Match Girl Passion
|
|
Friday, January 5, and Saturday, January 6, 2024, 7:30 pm
Gallery 305, Medieval Sculpture Hall
David Lang's Pulitzer Prize-winning The
Little Match Girl Passion, based on a Hans Christian Andersen
story and modeled after Bach's St.
Matthew Passion, has become a beloved Met holiday tradition
over the last decade. Now, the haunting piece returns in its starkest, most
poignant form: a quartet of percussion-playing vocal soloists standing in
front of The Met's ornate Christmas tree and Neapolitan baroque crèche.
Join us for this wrenching contemplation of joy amid suffering, hope amid
hopelessness, and beauty amid bleakness.
Free with Museum admission.
