This chamber version of John Adams’s Latinx-focused Nativity oratorio, with the diffuse book winnowed down by Julia Bullock (who will also grace us with her fabulous singing, as will the also fabulous Anthony Roth Constanzo and Devóne Tines), can’t be called a reduction: everyone who’s seen it seems to agree it’s better than the sprawling original.

MAKE A NIGHT OF IT: It’s hard to look at its menu without yawning, but Marlow Bistro is fine.
