The Saint Matthew Passion is Bach's greatest work, one which constitutes an unsurpassable pinnacle not only of Protestant church music, but in the universal history of music. Forgotten after Bach's death, the work was played in Berlin on 11 March 1829, a century after its original performance, with Felix Mendelssohn-Bartholdy conducting. The composer and conductor adapted the work to Romantic tastes in music performance, shortened it by a third, and employed an enormous (158-person) chorus and an orchestra scaled to match it. The resounding success resulted in a repeat performance on March 21, Bach's birthday, which became a significant social event: present were both the court and the crème de la crème of the contemporary German intelligentsia. This launched the Bach renaissance, and in a wider sense, the general practice of resurrecting earlier music.

Close your eyes, take a leap, and travel back 100 years to the fantastic 1920s — an unforgettable decade bursting with energy and style. Who wouldn’t want to step out of a sleek sports car, don a chic floppy hat, and dance to the irresistible rhythms of swing, jazz, or the Charleston?
A 60-minute tour starts every day at 13:30, 15:00 and 16:30 in English. To request a tour in other languages (Italian, Spanish, German, French and Hungarian), please get in touch with the OperaTour team. Please note that the auditorium is closed for visits during rehearsals. Guided tours are not available during performances.
Maude különc, szabadszájú és harsány nő, Lionel pedig kifogástalan modorú, művelt és meglehetősen cinikus férfi. Ők ketten talán soha nem találkoztak volna, hiszen Maude munkanélküli pincérnőként egy lepukkant lakókocsiparkban él Kaliforniában, Lionel pedig egy neves művészeti alapítványnál dolgozik a kontinens másik felén, New Yorkban.
