Which component is NOT typically a part of a large-scale oratorio performance?

The correct response identifies that user interactions during a performance are not a traditional component of a large-scale oratorio. In a typical oratorio performance, the focus is on the music and storytelling through vocal and instrumental elements. An oratorio generally features orchestral accompaniment and vocal solos, with multiple acts or sections to convey its narrative.

The format of an oratorio is structured, often akin to opera but without staging or acting; instead, it emphasizes the music and libretto. The audience is a passive listener, absorbing the performance without engaging in direct interaction. This distinguishes oratorios from more contemporary performance settings where audience participation might occur, which is not a characteristic of large-scale oratorio performances.
