“Lamb of God” — a sacred oratorio by Rob Gardner about Jesus Christ’s death, Atonement and Resurrection — made its New York City debut at the Metropolitan Opera House at Lincoln Center on Monday, March 30, 2026.
The concert, conducted by Gardner, was held in collaboration with The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, which is focusing this Easter season on the “greater love” of Christ, a phrase from John 15:13 in the New Testament: “Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends.”
At a reception before the concert, Elder Allen D. Haynie, General Authority Seventy and President of the Church’s United States Northeast Area, expressed gratitude for Gardner, the performers and the musicians and explained why the Church sponsored the production.
