Lovers of Bach can look forward to a very rare treat at Easter with the Australian premiere performance of Romantic composer Felix Mendelssohn’s 1841 interpretation of the St Matthew Passion. Associate Music Director Elizabeth Scott conducts the Choirs and a brilliant cast of soloists, including acclaimed baritone Teddy Tahu Rhodes as Christus.
And in a first-ever artistic collaboration, the Australian Romantic & Classical Orchestra will play on actual Romantic-era instruments, led from the violin by co-artistic director Rachel Beesley. Hear this work just as Mendelssohn himself would have heard it.
