The Metropolitan Opera’s 2023-24 season of Saturday matinee radio broadcasts continues with the network broadcast premiere of "El Niño" – a dramatic retelling of the Nativity story by American composer John Adams.

Maestro Marin Alsop makes her network debut leading the Met Orchestra and Chorus in this beautiful, colorful score, with acclaimed soloists Julia Bullock, Daniela Mack, and Davóne Tines.

This unique opera-oratorio explores the miracles of this story through sacred and secular texts, ancient and modern, from around the world.

"El Niño" will be heard live over the Robert K. Johnson Foundation-Metropolitan Opera International Radio Network at 1:00 p.m. ET on Saturday, May 4.
