American Modern Opera Company’s 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 created and conducted by Christian Reif and was first performed at The Met Cloisters in 2018 in the beautiful San Martín at Fuentidueña chapel.

The New York Times calls it “intimate, affecting and quietly rich with activism.” This rarely performed work celebrates Latin American poets and voices of women. Says Julia Bullock, “one of opera’s fastest-rising stars” (Vanity Fair), who curated the selections being performed and will sing in the performance, “El Niño: Nativity Reconsidered ruminates on the notion that with the promise of new life, there is the equal threat of inexplicable violence and sacrifice.”

The cast of this Christmas oratorio, an AMOC* production, features company members soprano Julia Bullock, countertenor Kyle Tingzon, bass-baritone Davóne Tines, violinists Miranda Cuckson and Keir Go Gwilt, cellist Coleman Itzkoff, bassist Doug Balliett, percussionist Jonny Allen, pianist Conor Hanick, with special guests, including Jasmin White, contralto.
