Abstract
The Sacrifice of Isaac is a micro-opera in one act scored for soprano, mezzo-soprano, baritone, and piano. The story is based on the events of the Biblical story found in Genesis 22, in which Abraham (baritone), the ancestor of the people of Israel, is commanded by God to sacrifice his son, Isaac (mezzo-soprano), as a burnt offering. Just as Abraham is about to cut Isaac’s throat, an Angel (soprano) appears and stops the sacrifice. The libretto is largely adapted from the Biblical text and includes an original poem by Skyler Cash for Abraham’s aria. The Sacrifice of Isaac aims to capture the unspoken emotions of this highly dramatic and controversial story while retaining theological accuracy, highlighting the faith-filled obedience of Abraham and the eternal faithfulness of God.
