SUMMARY:St Matthew Passion
CLASS:PUBLIC
DESCRIPTION:This oratorio tells the story of the last days in the life of J
 esus Christ. Exactly three hundred years ago\, Johann Sebastian Bach set t
 he Gospel text to music: The premiere was held on Good Friday in 1727. Ben
 edikt von Peter’s production takes the inherent tradition of the Station
 s of the Cross seriously: Bach’s double-choir masterpiece unfolds as an 
 acoustic crucifix\; the audience sits amidst the musical action\, exposing
  their own bodies to this Passion and its unsettling beauty. Betrayal\, mo
 rtal agony\, sacrifice and forgiveness do not appear as a distant event of
  salvation\, but as a sober question for our present: What are the sins fo
 r which the Son must be sacrificed year after year? Not the Evangelist\, b
 ut children bring the parable to life. They shoulder the cross\, prevent J
 udas’s suicide with an embrace\, and put the value system of a Christian
  society up for discussion. Marc Minkowski\, a renowned specialist in Baro
 que vocal music and a guest at the Deutsche Oper for the first time\, cond
 ucts this special revival exactly on the 300th anniversary of the work!
