Enter our sweepstakes to win a pair of tickets to Haydn's Seven Words, a program featuring an original live-mixed video installation by Ofri Cnaani.http://met.org/VvOWJG When Haydn's piece was first performed at a Spanish Cathedral in 1786, the audience experienced a multimedia performance that included special lighting, spoken words, and live music. Lavard Skou Larsen's Salzburg Chamber Soloists will perform their adaptation of the piece to a string orchestra and Cnaani will present his live video installation that will encircle the performers and generate a theatrical context for the music.
