What you need to know
- Narrated from the stage, with the conductor explaining each excerpt, so kids who have never heard Bach can follow along

- A palace concert hall, the Herkulessaal inside the Residenz, a few minutes' walk from Odeonsplatz
About
Conductor Thomas Gropper tells the Christmas story through Bach's Christmas Oratorio, stopping between excerpts to explain what kids are hearing: why the angels sound heavenly, why the shepherds go from amazed to excited, and what all the instruments in the orchestra are. The Arcis-Vocalisten choir sings with the baroque orchestra L'Arpa festante and soloists. It suits curious school-age kids more than toddlers who need to move.
