Synopsis:

Jonathan Millers staging of Bachs St Matthew Passion will be performed in collaboration with the Southbank Sinfonia. Bachs Passion is presented in two parts and retells the dramatic story of the events leading to Christs crucifixion. Part one includes the last supper and the betrayal and arrest of Jesus in the Garden of Gethsemane, while part two depicts His trial, crucifixion and burial. Jonathan Miller strips away all traditional performance conventions of this sacred work: it is sung, in a new English translation by Paul Goodwin, by soloists and a choir  all casually dressed  who interact with the full orchestra of musicians. The result is a production conveying the full power and overwhelming drama of Bachs final and most revered Passion.
