Knights, sorceresses, wizards, fairies, and demons clash in a fairytale opera about love, revenge, and adventure, composed by Johann Christian Bach. The brave knight Amadis is wrongly accused of killing Arcabonne and Arcalaus' brother. They unleash their magic, though Arcalaus's is unreliable, and mobilize the demonic underworld. Amadis is imprisoned and all seems lost. But is revenge the answer? Two wizards narrate the story with music, videos, and a colorful stage.

In 1734, Bach compiled six cantatas, some based on existing compositions, for the Christmas season, creating the Christmas Oratorio, performed in Leipzig's main churches. This overshadowed his other Christmas cantatas, like the chorale cantata from 1724. Bach reused the latter cantata, reminiscent of the Christmas Oratorio's Part 4 in its instrumentation, into the 1740s. His 1724 Sanctus (later in the Mass in B minor) and the chorale cantata "Liebster Immanuel" also belong to his second Leipzig cantata year. "Liebster Immanuel," intended for Epiphany like Part VI of the Christmas Oratorio, premiered on January 6, 1725. Unlike the latter's imposing brass, it features flutes and oboe d'amore, lending an ethereal intimacy.

What would the Advent season be without Johann Sebastian Bach's music, especially the Weihnachts-Oratorium (Christmas Oratorio) that all the musicians in Germany simply call ‘WO’? The Konzerthausorchester Berlin, the traditional boys' choir of the Leipzig Thomaner - founded in 1212 and thus one of the oldest choirs of all - and renowned soloists fill the Great Hall with the familiar sounds and festive atmosphere.
