Passion for J.S. Bach presents selected excerpts from the St John Passion, one of Johann Sebastian Bach’s most profound and dramatic sacred works. First performed in 1724 in Leipzig, the St John Passion recounts the story of Christ’s suffering and crucifixion according to the Gospel of John. Through expressive arias, powerful choruses, and reflective chorales, Bach creates an intense musical narrative filled with emotion and spiritual depth. The Evangelist’s recitatives guide the listener through the story, while the choir embodies both the crowd and moments of collective contemplation. These selected excerpts highlight the dramatic contrasts, lyrical beauty, and theological intensity of the work, offering audiences a moving and unforgettable musical experience.

Sainte Chapelle Paris Tickets
he Sainte-Chapelle (Holy Chapel) is a royal medieval Gothic chapel, located near the Palais de la Cité, on the Île de la Cité in the heart of Paris, France.
Begun some time after 1239 and consecrated on 26 April 1248,[1] the Sainte-Chapelle is considered among the highest achievements of the Rayonnant period of Gothic architecture. Its erection was commissioned by King Louis IX of France to house his collection of Passion Relics, including Christ's Crown of Thorns - one of the most important relics in medieval Christendom.
Along with the Conciergerie, the Sainte-Chapelle is one of the earliest surviving buildings of the Capetian royal palace on the Île de la Cité. Although damaged during the French revolution, and restored in the 19th century, it retains one of the most extensive in-situ collections of 13th-century stained glass anywhere in the world.
