BACH. THE LIGHT OF CHRISTMAS

There are music pieces capable of transforming silence into emotion. The Christmas Oratorio by Johann Sebastian Bach is one of these: a timeless masterpiece that unites solemnity, joy, and spirituality in a musical experience of extraordinary intensity.

In the evocative setting of the Basilica of Saints Philip and James, the crystalline voices of the famous Tölzer Knabenchor, among the most prestigious boys' choirs in the world, meet the orchestra Gli Archi Italiani, conducted by Marco Barbon, to bring to life four of the six cantatas of the masterpiece BWV 248.

From the festive momentum of the famous Jauchzet, frohlocket to the sweetness of the lullaby Schlafe, mein Liebster, up to the splendor of trumpets and timpani, the music accompanies the narration of the Nativity in a crescendo of suggestions. A journey that spans centuries of history to restore all the beauty and depth of the Christmas message.

A special appointment of CortinAteatro, where great music meets the intimate atmosphere of the Basilica, offering the community and visitors an opportunity to rediscover, through art, the most authentic sense of the anticipation of Christmas.

FREE ENTRY, until all available seats are filled. It is advised to arrive early.
