What to expect
As Easter approaches, this exceptional concert invites the audience to discover or rediscover one of the greatest masterpieces in the history of Western music: Johann Sebastian Bach’s St Matthew Passion. Performed by the Wrocław Baroque Orchestra, this sacred work comes to life in a version faithful to the spirit of the 18th century, thanks to the use of period instruments and a historically informed approach.
This performance stands out as a rare moment, where music goes beyond the simple framework of a concert to become a true emotional and spiritual immersion. For nearly three hours, the audience is drawn into an exceptionally intense musical narrative, built around the story of Christ’s Passion according to the Gospel of Matthew. Alternating between recitatives, solo arias and powerful choral ensembles, the work unfolds an expressive richness that continues to fascinate audiences around the world.
St Matthew Passion – J.-S. Bach
A monumental musical experience not to be missed
Under the direction of Jarosław Thiel, the Wrocław Baroque ensemble offers a clear, lively and deeply inspired interpretation of this monumental score. Each passage is crafted with particular attention to sound colours, dynamics and the fluidity of the musical narrative. The result is a performance that highlights both the complexity of Bach’s writing and its immediate emotional power.
This concert also stands out for the quality of its vocal performers, bringing together soloists and choir in a highly precise musical architecture. The balance between the voices and the orchestra reveals the full dramatic depth of the work while maintaining great clarity for the audience. Even without being a classical music specialist, it is possible to be carried away by the storytelling, contrasts and expressive power of the ensemble.
The performance is scheduled in a renowned venue dedicated to major musical productions, located on Île Seguin in Boulogne-Billancourt. This contemporary venue offers optimal listening conditions, allowing the full richness of the orchestra and choirs’ acoustics to be appreciated. The modern and comfortable environment helps make this evening a complete cultural experience.
The concert begins at 7:30 PM, with a total duration of approximately three hours including an intermission. It is strongly recommended to arrive early in order to settle in comfortably and enjoy the opening moments in the best possible conditions. Given the length and intensity of the work, this format with a break allows the audience to experience it in the best circumstances.
Tickets are available from 10 euros, making this event accessible to a wide audience.
