A Festive Concert With MET Orchestra Brass
Met Orchestra brass, Berlin Philharmonic horns, and two-time Grammy Award winning mezzo-soprano Isabel Leonard have put together a festive concert to brighten the holiday season.
The live-stream concert begins at Dec. 13 at 3 p.m., filled with holiday favorites like “Deck the Halls,” “Angels We Have Heard on High,” “Dreidel Song,” and the beloved “Evening Prayer” from the opera “Hansel and Gretel.”
Lost in the forest in the dead of night, the two siblings in the opera sing a prayer, sometimes known as “The Children’s Prayer” before they go to sleep. Their moving expression of faith and hope brings forward 14 angels to gather around the children in protection, in Engelbert Humperdinck’s opera.
