It is hard to imagine Easter without Johann Sebastian Bach's St John Passion. You won't mistake his music for any other. Listening to it is like returning to a landscape that is familiar and close to our hearts. The crystalline purity of the music and the endless stream of harmonies against the dramatic text combine to create moments that leave us all breathless. Director Matěj Forman's staging offers another dimension to the fantastic landscape of Bach's music and invites us deeper into the drama of the Easter story.
