Book your tickets now for a performance of Bach's St. Matthew Passion in Rotterdam. A unique opportunity to experience this masterful composition in a historic and atmospheric location.
The St. Matthew Passion is considered the favorite composition in the Netherlands during the Passion season and is anchored in our culture. The Bach Choir & Orchestra of the Netherlands is like no other able to convey the symbolism, emotion and comfort to you as a listener.
Johann Sebastian Bach devised a unique arrangement for his magnum opus: two choirs and two orchestras. The composition tells the chronological story of the Passion of Christ in which symbolism plays a major role. Bach uses all kinds of musical means to achieve rich effects. He wrote specific roles for both instruments and soloists. The narrator: the evangelist, takes you through the story. He is alternated with the choir, on the one hand intimate and then again overwhelming. Each soloist has his own emotional dimension such as love, sorrow, comfort, contemplation.
The musicians of The Bach Orchestra play authentic instruments from Bach's time and The Bach Choir is praised for its dynamic and expressive sound. The (inter)national soloists have an enormous dedication that will be audible and visible during the masterful arias. They are like no other able to convey the symbolism, emotion and comfort to you as a listener.
