In the Netherlands, Easter is synonymous with Bach’s St Matthew Passion. But don’t forget his St John Passion. For those who find the St Matthew too long or overly sombre, the St John Passion offers a compelling alternative. Often described as Bach’s only opera, it is packed with drama, speed and profound human emotion. Reinoud van Mechelen previously made a great impression as the Evangelist with the Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra. Now he takes on this glorious role with his own ensemble, a nocte temporis.
In just ten years, the acclaimed Flemish ensemble a nocte temporis has evolved into a major force in early music. With the addition of soloists as compelling as Tomáš Král and Carlos Mena alongside tenor Reinoud van Mechelen, the line-up is nothing short of a dream cast. And the spine-tingling opening chorus Herr, unser Herrscher and those exquisite Bach chorales are in expert hands with the consistently world-class Chœur de Chambre de Namur.
Tickets: € 12,50 – € 55,00
