Bach's St John Passion
Bach's St John Passion will be performed in Lichfield Cathedral on Sunday 20 November at 19.30 by the English Touring Opera. Tickets are available at www.experiencetickets.co.uk/eto
Deeply personal, inspiring and questioning in equal parts, Bach’s St John Passion is a brilliant reflection of that extraordinary gospel and one of the highest points in Western civilisation.
It opens with an impassioned cry to God, written in the plain language of an earnest witness and full of restlessness and desire. Between this opening and the final, magnificent chorus, we are called to face up to some of the most basic questions in life, all in the form of an urgent, unsentimental story.
Sung in German and English.
Sung in partnership with:
Lichfield Cathedral Chamber Choir
County Chorus
