| Abstract | How may an opera composed as an interpretation of John 20 be experienced as a proclamation of the Gospel? This is at issue here in this report of and reflection upon a performance of that opera. An opera requires poetic and musical invention. But the gospel is not of human invention. It is a divine poesis. It is a divine act of self-disclosure in human terms. It is a mystery revealed, an immensity—the immensity—cloistered in human form. Selections from the opera have been recorded and will be played for discussion and reflection. The libretto is included. |
