Synopsis
Haydn's oratorio The Creation, the first public performance of which took place in 1799 in Vienna's old Burgtheater, is one of the peak works of classical art; it reflects the spirit of Goethe's time - the oneness of man with his world, the reverence for the mighty cosmos of nature, which is considered to have been created by a divine authority and the crowning glory of which man appears.
