Fresh from their 2014 performance of Monteverdi’s Vespers, Apollo’s Fire & Singers returns to St. Francis of Assisi Church with one of their signature pieces, Bach’s St. John Passion. Bursting out of the gate from the agitated opening chorus, this work is considered Bach’s most dramatic and theatrical oratorio. In this acclaimed interpretation, the story’s action is highlighted by a dramatic approach: the roles are performed by true singing actors, staged on a special theatrical platform within the orchestra. The acclaimed Apollo’s Singers evoke the wild mob with fierce intensity.
