Oratorio / Orchestral

Approved

English

Called a “rich and prodigious invention” by
the Financial Times, MacMillan’s Oratorio
is a full-scale nativity work that collates
texts from a number of different sources
and finds inspiration from the rhythms
of secular Christmas carols to the stately
solo arias of traditional oratorio.
Celebrate the season with a new landmark
work from one of the greatest composers
of our time.
*Australian premiere of an MSO Co-commission
with The Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra and the
London Symphony Orchestra
