Some Details...

Bach St Matthew Passion

Saturday 22 March 2014, 7pm

St Mary’s Church, High Pavement Nottingham NG1 1HN

A semi-staged performance sung in English, capturing the dramatic spirit of Bach’s inspired re-telling of the Easter story.

Come and experience the human drama of Bach’s great St Matthew Passion in this semi-staged performance. Be swept up in the urgency and magnificence of Bach’s inspired music as he retells the Easter story, with driving choruses, exquisite solos and wonderful chorales, sorrowing, intimate and tender. Enjoy the animated, informal performance style, as two choirs and two orchestras interact in the drama with an array of individual characters sung by top soloists.
Feel the anger, love and grief – and the moments of spine-tingling stillness – in this greatest of all narratives of self-sacrifice and betrayal.
