Ημερομηνία προβολής: Μαρ 27, 2016

Recorded from a live performance on Saturday 26th March at Campfield Market in Manchester, this promenade opera should prove a bold, contemporary retelling of the last days of Jesus’s life. Based on Bach’s St Matthew Passion, it’s performed by an ensemble cast from Streetwise Opera – whose singers include former homeless people – and acclaimed early music choir The Sixteen, conducted by Harry Christophers.
