Concert
Dutch National Opera - Johannes-Passion
Bach’s Johannes-Passion comes to the stage of Dutch National Opera in a powerful production by director and choreographer Sasha Waltz. Rather than presenting the work in a traditional concert setting, Waltz brings singers, musicians, choristers and dancers together, allowing movement and music to become deeply intertwined.
Written several years before the Matthäus-Passion, Bach’s Johannes-Passion draws the audience into the turbulent final moments of Christ’s life. Waltz approaches this familiar story as a poetic and profoundly human exploration of truth, justice and redemption.
Conductor Leonardo García Alarcón leads the Netherlands Bach Society, whose choir joins forces with the Chorus of Dutch National Opera. The cast features acclaimed Bach interpreters including Florian Boesch, alongside Andreas Wolf as Jesus and David Fischer as the Evangelist.
Originally created by Sasha Waltz & Guests and first presented in 2024, this Johannes-Passion transforms Bach’s masterpiece into an immersive encounter between voice, instrumental music and dance.
