Breathtaking visual projections joined with the musical artistry of Pacific Chorale and Pacific Symphony bring Haydn's masterpiece vividly to life! Inspired by the book of Genesis and Milton’s “Paradise Lost,” “The Creation” was one of the greatest triumphs of the composer’s career, and remains one of the most beloved oratorios of all time.
