Well known for annual Christmas performances of Handel’s Messiah and other choral works, Perth Symphonic Chorus presents Bach’s immortal St Matthew Passion for the first time in its nearly 30-year history.

The Passion story chronicles the suffering of Jesus Christ, narrated by an evangelist telling the story according to St Matthew. Teddy Tahu Rhodes brings depth and resonance to the role of Christus, with tenor John Longmuir bringing a wealth of opera experience to the part of the Evangelist. 

Bach’s St Matthew Passion is to music what Leonardo da Vinci’s The Last Supper or Michelangelo’s The Last Judgement in the Sistine Chapel are to visual art. The St Matthew Passion was composed by J.S. Bach in 1727 in time for the Easter Good Friday Mass, and has achieved the status of masterpiece because of its musical innovations, dramatic power, complex choruses, chorales and stunning arias. 

The St Matthew Passion will be performed in German with English surtitles.
