THE CREATION
​Franz Joseph Haydn

POSTPONED
Franz Joseph Haydn's epic telling of the Creation story.
While visiting London in the 1790s, Haydn heard two of Handel's oratorios, Messiah and Israel in Egypt.  Inspired and possessing a libretto by Baron van Swieten, based on Milton's Paradise Lost, The Creation (Die Schöpfung) ​ was premiered in Vienna in 1798.  
​The ACS will perform this masterwork in English.
