Now, the haunting piece returns in its starkest, most poignant form: a quartet of percussion-playing vocal soloists standing in front of The Met's ornate Christmas tree and Neapolitan baroque crèche. Join us for this wrenching contemplation of joy amid suffering, hope amid hopelessness, and beauty amid bleakness. Free with Museum admission. Learn more →
