Live, Video: Kritiken zu klassischen Konzerten, Opern, Ballett und Tanz finden | Clemency

What is the link between Bernstein’s criticism of American consumerism and MacMillan's biblical tale?

In James MacMillan’s Clemency, three strangers visit Abraham and Sarah. The aging couple make them welcome and receive the news that Sarah will bear a son – to Sarah’s disbelief. They appear to be angels, coming to bless the couple. But as the travelers prepare to leave, they reveal that their next stop is one of condemnation. The people of the twin towns, Sodom and Gomorrah, will be destroyed.
