The St. John Passion by J. S. Bach
Baroque masterpiece in Holy Week

Tickets

Almost 300 years after its premiere, Johann Sebastian Bach's St. John Passion remains one of the most moving and dramatically impressive works in music history. Bach transforms the biblical account of Christ's suffering and death into a baroque tragedy full of color, depth, and spiritual power. With every note, one senses the composer's deep connection to his faith. A world of sound is revealed that combines humanity and transcendence. Bach's music thus becomes a divine medium that expresses grief, hope, and redemption at the same time.
