We believe this to be NZ premiere of the complete, orchestrated Brockes Passion by Handel.

With a tenor Evangelist who narrates the story and a series of short, often dramatic choruses and reflective chorales, one might almost think that Bach was the composer. However, the beautiful melodies of the solo airs: tortured singing from Jesus, reflective from the Tochter Zion (daughter of Zion) and the horrified Glaubige Seele (beloved Soul) alongside the tormented Judas and Centaurian are unmistakably Handel's.

The entire story of the Passion of Jesus is told, from His betrayal by Judas, to His horrific death. With a wonderful line-up of top NZ soloists, you will not want to miss this special event.
