Master Chrous Eastside to play ‘The Creation’
April 30, 2009
New April 30, 1:28 p.m.
Master Chorus Eastside will present Joseph Haydn’s oratorio “The Creation” on May 9, about 200 years after the death of the composer.
The work combines the poetry of “Paradise Lost,” excerpts from the Book of Genesis, soloists, chorus and orchestra pieces. Linda Gingrich, artistic director and Don Hicklin, stage manager, have crafted lighting, props and staging in a way they hope will enhance the details of the biblical creation story as Master Chorus Eastside will attempt to create the Garden of Eden on stage.
