The spirit of Christmas evokes fraternity, love, compassion, solidarity… What space do these values occupy in our day and age? It’s a good opportunity to reflect on the condition of each of us, our families and everything around us. Music thus joins the gifts and hugs with the aim of awakening consciences and emotions. It is with Haydn’s last symphony, Corelli’s most famous concerto and the emblematic melodies of this time of year that the Metropolitana wishes everyone Happy Holidays and the Peace that the world so desperately needs.
