The Hamburger Bachchor St. Petri performs Joseph Haydn’s 'The Creation' at the Elbphilharmonie Hamburg. This masterpiece of the Classical period sets the biblical account of the world's creation to music with impressive choral songs of praise and a rich orchestral palette.
Joseph Haydn’s »Creation« can be described as the most important oratorio of the Classical period. Together with George Frideric Handel’s oratorios, it had an impact right up to the High Romantic period. The three-part work sets the biblical account of the creation of the world to music in a tremendous wealth of colour, depicting a paradisiacal world with an impressive abundance of life. The choir responds to the narrative with songs of praise, of which »Die Himmel erzählen« has become one of the most popular vocal works.
Very diverse age range (10-80+), highly international mix of cultural tourists, architecture enthusiasts, and local Hamburg residents. Varies significantly by performance type.
No formal dress code, everything from suits to jeans and clean sneakers accepted; smart casual is common.
Strict punctuality for concerts; latecomers wait for appropriate pauses to enter the hall.
