Betrayal, judgment, and death; Bach’s St. Matthew Passion recounts the final days of Christ as told in the Gospel of Matthew. Widely regarded as one of the greatest works in Western music and a pinnacle of the Baroque era, it has been described as “a monumental achievement of spiritual and artistic expression” by The New York Times.
Thought to have been premiered on Good Friday 1727, this sacred oratorio offers a powerful and deeply moving musical meditation on Christ’s crucifixion. With its dramatic storytelling, expressive arias, and majestic choruses, the work captures the profound emotional and spiritual depth of the Passion narrative.
Featuring leading soloists alongside National Symphony Orchestra Ireland, under the baton of the esteemed Gerhard Markson, this performance offers a rare opportunity to experience Bach’s extraordinary masterpiece live this Good Friday, in all its emotional intensity and dramatic power.
