Die Schöpfung Im Nikolaisaal Potsdam – Nikolaisaal, Potsdam

About this event

This is a concert presentation of Joseph Haydn's Die Schöpfung by the Kammerakademie Potsdam, the NDR Vokalensemble and conductor Klaas Stok. The event page describes the collaboration as the artists' second joint project and places Haydn's late oratorio at the center of the program. The production concept is framed through the work's relationship to creation, time and the contemporary world. The official description presents the oratorio as a hymn to the creation of the Earth, while also asking what has become of the world celebrated by Haydn as “so great, so wonderful.” The stated artistic focus is musical and interpretive rather than a documented theatrical re-staging. The credited musical forces are three vocal soloists, the NDR Vokalensemble, the Kammerakademie Potsdam and Klaas Stok as conductor.
