Note from the Director
by Peter Sellars
Imagine the first followers, broken and bereft the night after the Crucifixion. After a triumphal entry into Jerusalem, their leader was executed in public following a sham trial
by a discredited government. How could everything have gone so wrong?
Bach wrote the St. Matthew Passion not as a concert work and not as a work of theater,
but as a transformative ritual reaching across time and space, uniting disparate and dispirited communities. His achievement is one of the most powerful acts of remembrance in
human history. In the St. Matthew Passion, there are no spectators, only participants. We
are all present as witnesses, all called upon to testify. Our own internal conflicts are
exposed as the larger contradictions of the world, and our gradually expanding levels of
personal and collective recognition lead to an expanded sense of personal and collective
responsibility. The sheer scale of the work tests our endurance and becomes an overwhelming exercise in compassion.
My ritual “staging” is primarily focused on Bach’s spatial imagination and the moral energies that his dialogues and juxtapositions release. Bach’s musical images are often vividly
pictorial, but they also move beyond the visual, passing through the tactile, to find their
redemptive and healing power in the act of making music itself, which is its own kind of
spiritual path of concentration, shared attention, and transcendent achievement.

Note on the Production
by Tobias Möller
We can only speculate on Bach’s reasons for never contemplating writing an opera.
Perhaps he had no interest in the medium, but perhaps he simply lacked the opportunity
to appear in public with a piece of music theater. After all, writing operas was never one
of Bach’s professional duties. But it is clear from his Passions that he was fascinated by
the whole idea of dramatic expression. Here Christ’s Passion is not simply retold in the
form of a narrative whose events took place in the past but is depicted with a directness
that allows us to experience it first hand and to feel for ourselves the extreme emotions
triggered by the events that the work describes.
It comes as no surprise, therefore, to learn that the St. Matthew Passion in particular has
prompted directors and choreographers to stage it in the theater. The semi-staged performances that Peter Sellars mounted in the spring of 2010, both at the Salzburg Easter
Festival and in the Berlin Philharmonie with the Berliner Philharmoniker under Simon
Rattle, may be seen as an attempt to take these experimental stagings a step further—or
not, as the case may be. For although Sellars, together with the vocal soloists and the
members of the Rundfunkchor Berlin (Berlin Radio Chorus), presented audiences with a
series of unforgettable and powerful images, dramatic effectiveness was by no means
central to their concerns. “It’s not theater,” says Sellars about the St. Matthew Passion. “It
is a prayer, it is a meditation.” The aim of this performance, therefore, was to allow the
audience to experience this aspect for themselves.
The project began with Sellars’s first encounter with the Berlin Philharmonie in 2006, when
he was so enthusiastic about the whole layout of the auditorium, in which the central
podium is surrounded by rows of seats for the audience, that he felt it an ideal space in
which to perform the St. Matthew Passion. After all, Bach himself had placed his choirs
and instrumentalists on two separate galleries when performing the work in St. Thomas’s
Church in Leipzig. This spatialization of the music underscores the work’s numerous dialogues. But the attempt to reconstruct this spatial element in the Philharmonie was not an
end in itself, and certainly not an acoustic special effect. By placing the musicians facing
each other and inviting them to engage in a dialogue in this way, the director was able to
draw the audience into the very heart and center of the action. The boundaries between
the podium and the audience were blurred, and a sense of community ensued.
For Peter Sellars, this musical dialogue is Bach’s central means of presenting the idea of a
metaphysical search, and it is manifest not only in the way the musicians are positioned,
facing each other, but also in the inner struggles that beset the principal characters. Above
all, the vocal soloists have to complete their arduous journeys through the most varied
worlds of emotion. But they are not alone. At their side are instrumentalists—notably the
oboe in “Ich will bei meinem Jesu wachen” and the violin in “Gebt mir meinen Jesum
wieder.” In this ritualized approach to the score, they are visible companions who suffer
along with the singers. Perhaps this is the most immediate and graphic illustration of
Sellars’s view of the work. Although the St. Matthew Passion is the “Mount Everest” of
music, in the present interpretation this monument is not meant to be “admired from a distance.” Quite the opposite: we are invited “to open it and go inside.”

Note on the Music
by Michael Marissen
St. Matthew Passion, BWV 244 (1727)
JOHANN SEBASTIAN BACH
Born March 21, 1685, in Eisenach, Germany
Died July 28, 1750, in Leipzig
Approximate length of First Part:
1 hour, 20 minutes
Approximate length of Second Part:
1 hour, 50 minutes
Bach’s Passions were expected to be heard
but not seen. He wrote them for the liturgy
of Leipzig’s Lutheran churches, where his
ensembles made music from the raised galleries at the rear, behind or to the side of
most listeners, essentially out of view.
In the case of the St. Matthew Passion,
what one heard was an elaborate threehour meditation on the First Gospel’s story
of the death of Jesus. Invisible to the
audience, single singers took on multiple
roles, but this wasn’t confusing, because
the Passion’s language shifted from group
to group.
The narrative itself was in the somewhat
archaic prose of Martin Luther’s wellknown translation of the Gospel. The
soloist commentary was in the modern
rhymed and accented poetry of Bach’s
Leipzig librettist Christian Friedrich Henrici
(who went by “Picander”). And the choral
commentary was mostly in the slightly
antiquated rhymed and accented poetry of
well-known Lutheran hymns.
Bach’s music complemented these verbal
differences. A tenor Evangelist chanted
the gospel narrative in simple recitative, a
type of solo singing that imitates speech
rhythms and inflections, accompanied by
intermittent chords from the organ, its
bass line doubled by cello. The direct
speech of individual biblical characters,
though similarly accompanied, prompted
vocal lines decidedly more melodic in character. The words of Jesus were the most
striking of all, since they were accompanied by long-held chords from the strings.
These chords have traditionally been
understood as the musical equivalent of
the haloes in paintings of Jesus.
Soloistic reflection on the story mostly
took the form of arias, consisting of virtuoso vocal episodes accompanied by obbligato instruments, and punctuated by
instrumental refrains called ritornellos.
Other solo commentary found expression
as accompanied recitative, marked by
more active textures, featuring obbligato
instruments like flutes, oboes, or violins.
Musically Bach distinguished the choirs’
contributions in a likewise straightforward
way. He devised the opening and closing
commentary choruses as arias. Turbae
(biblical crowds), by contrast, moved along
more deliberately, in four or eight voices,
without orchestral interludes. Chorales
brought the entire ensemble together,
delivering animated four-part harmonizations of commentary hymn stanzas, instruments doubling the vocal lines.
For all of that, Bach’s Passions technically
were not dramatic, representational
works. His vocalists, even when portraying
direct speech, simply proclaimed biblical
verses, before going on to reflect upon
them. He and his listeners certainly did not
associate individual singers with single
characters, as one would in an opera, for
example. And so, although Bach did borrow verbal and musical styles from opera
(namely, recitative and aria), his St.
Matthew Passion was not, at base, theatrical in conception.
The stipulated aim of Bach’s cantata and
Passion performances, as we know from
his Leipzig job contract, was to provide
“music [that] should thus be created so
as not to appear opera-centered, but,
much more, to incite the listeners to
[Lutheran] devotion.”
Of paramount devotional importance was
receiving comfort in the face of Original
Sin, the teaching (in Lutheran understanding) that through Adam’s Fall human nature
is in its essence wholly corrupted. Because
of the Fall, humanity incurred an infinitely
crushing debt/guilt. (The German word
Schuld, employed saliently in Picander’s
libretto, carries both meanings.) Only God,
then, has the power to reconcile humans
to God, and it was for this purpose that
Jesus, the Son of God, died sacrificially, on
the cross. In the world of Bach’s liturgical
music, the personal shortcomings and sinful acts of humans are, emphatically, the
mere byproducts of a root problem, sin.
In their staging of the Passion, Peter Sellars
and Simon Rattle re-divide Bach’s solo vocal
material such that 12 discrete biblical
soloists, ten of whom also sing in the
choirs, are fully separated from four discrete commentary soloists, none of whom
sings in the choirs. (Bach, however, had
used for the gospel’s 12 characters only
seven singers, four of whom also sang in
the choirs and performed various solo commentary roles; for his range of commentary
solos, Bach drew on three additional
singers—that is to say he used, all told, not
four but seven commentary soloists.)
This recasting of Bach’s work is the most
striking in the case of Sellars and Rattle’s
alto commentary soloist. Sellars presents
her as a Mary Magdalene figure, increasingly plagued by remorse for her sins and
increasingly alarmed and disturbed by the
Romans’ harsh treatment of Jesus. At cen-
ter stage, she clasps and consoles the
Evangelist, who, in pained demeanor,
appears as an avatar of Jesus, all the while
the “real” Jesus, the Incarnation of God,
stands exalted, over at the side, to deliver
his nimbused discourses.
In Bach’s performances, two different male
altos would have sung this newfound
female figure’s material, and both would,
furthermore, have additionally sung in the
choirs. Alto 1 performed several numbers in
the role of an anonymous commenter and
several numbers in a second role, labeled
Zion in Picander’s libretto (who is always
presented in dialogue with choir 2, the
Believers). Alto 2 performed several further
numbers in the role of a separate anonymous commenter and yet another number
in a fourth role, the gospel’s Testifier 1.
For modern audiences desiring greater dramatic realism, Sellars and Rattle’s specific
conflation of several of Bach’s differentiated soloistic roles for two unseen male
altos into a unified role for a visually arresting female, along with their various other
reconfigurations of Bach’s ensemble, will
surely help bring a much keener emotional
experience of the Passion.

For the Anniversary of
My Death
by W.S. Merwin
Every year without knowing it I have passed the day
When the last fires will wave to me
And the silence will set out
Tireless traveler
Like the beam of a lightless star
Then I will no longer
Find myself in life as in a strange garment
Surprised at the earth
And the love of one woman
And the shamelessness of men
As today writing after three days of rain
Hearing the wren sing and the falling cease
And bowing not knowing to what

Eric Owens
Eric Owens (bass-baritone) has a reputation
as an esteemed interpreter of classic
works and a champion of new music.
Equally at home in orchestral, recital, and
opera performances, Mr. Owens began the
2014–15 season by rejoining Simon Rattle
and the Berliner Philharmoniker for performances of St. Matthew Passion at the
Lucerne Festival and the BBC Proms. He
returns to Lyric Opera of Chicago for
Gershwin’s Porgy and Bess directed by
Francesca Zambello, after which he will
debut in Der fliegende Holländer with the
Washington National Opera conducted by
Philippe Auguin. Additional role debuts this
season include King Philip II in Verdi’s Don
Carlo at Opera Philadelphia, Scarpia in
Puccini’s Tosca with Leonard Slatkin and
the Detroit Symphony Orchestra, and the
title role in Verdi’s Macbeth at the
Glimmerglass Festival, where he returns as
an artist-in-residence.
Mr. Owens’s operatic highlights include his
San Francisco Opera debut in Otello; his
Royal Opera debut in Norma; Rigoletto, Il
trovatore, and La bohème at Los Angeles
Opera; Die Zauberflöte for his Paris Opera
debut; and Ariodante and L’incoronazione
di Poppea at the English National Opera.
His honors include the 2003 Marian
Anderson Award, a 1999 ARIA Award, second prize in the Plácido Domingo Operalia
Competition, and the Luciano Pavarotti
International Voice Competition.
A native of Philadelphia, Mr. Owens began
his musical training as a pianist at age six,
followed by formal oboe study at age 11.
He studied voice as an undergraduate at
Temple University, and then as a graduate
student at the Curtis Institute of Music. He
currently studies with Armen Boyajian.
performing style that made the Philharmoniker famous all over the world. Claudio
Abbado, chief conductor from 1989 to 2002,
devised a new type of programming, with
increased emphasis on contemporary
works, expanded chamber recital series,
and performances of operas in concert.
When Simon Rattle took the orchestra’s
helm in 2002, the education program was
initiated to ensure that the Berliner
Philharmoniker reach a wider and younger
audience. In 2007 he and the orchestra were
appointed UNICEF Goodwill Ambassadors,
the first artistic ensemble ever to represent
the international children’s organization.
The Berliner Philharmoniker Foundation is
generously supported by its principal sponsor, Deutsche Bank, a commitment that
enabled the orchestra to launch its innovative Digital Concert Hall, which broadcasts
the orchestra’s concerts live over the
Internet. In May 2014 the Philharmoniker
released one of the most important musical projects in recent years on its newly
launched label, Berliner Philharmoniker
Recordings: the complete symphonies of
Schumann, conducted by Sir Simon.
Rundfunkchor Berlin
Founded in 1882 as a self-governing body,
the Berliner Philharmoniker has long been
esteemed as one of the world’s greatest
orchestras. In 2007 the ensemble celebrated the 125th anniversary of its founding, and its 2013–14 season was dedicated
to the 50th anniversary of the Berlin
Philharmonie, designed for the orchestra
by the architect Hans Scharoun.
Hans von Bülow, Arthur Nikisch, and
Wilhelm Furtwängler were the principal conductors who left their distinctive marks in
the Berliner Philharmoniker’s early decades. In 1955 Herbert von Karajan became
the orchestra’s artistic director and, in the
ensuing years, worked with the musicians
to develop a unique tonal quality and
Winner of Grammy Awards in 2008,
2009, and 2011, Rundfunkchor Berlin is a
regular guest at all the major festivals and
the chosen partner of international
orchestras and conductors such as Simon
Rattle, Christian Thielemann, and Daniel
Barenboim. It is the permanent partner of
the Berliner Philharmoniker, Deutsches
Symphonie-Orchester Berlin, and Radio
Symphony Orchestra Berlin. The exceptional breadth of its repertoire, stylistic versatility, absolute precision, delight in experimentation, stunning responsiveness, and
warm, richly nuanced sound all contribute
to making it one of the world’s outstanding
choral ensembles.
Rundfunkchor Berlin’s experimental series,
Broadening the Scope of Choral Music, has
attracted worldwide attention. In collaboration with artists from diverse disciplines,
the chorus is breaking down the classical
concert format and creating new modes
of choral music for a new audience. Some
prime examples include Rodion Shchedrin’s
The Sealed Angel, a work featuring five
dancers; an all-night performance of John
Tavener’s The Veil of the Temple in Berlin’s
museum for contemporary art that was
visually enhanced and filmed by Boomtown
Media; and an interactive scenic version
of Brahms’s Ein deutsches Requiem,
staged by Jochen Sandig and Sasha
Waltz & Guests.
Founded in 1925 and shaped by conductors
including Helmut Koch, Dietrich Knothe,
and Robin Gritton, Rundfunkchor Berlin has
been directed since 2001 by Simon Halsey.
The ensemble invites people of all ages and
walks of life to become immersed in the
world of professional choral music. The
choir hosts numerous annual activities for
various target groups, including the big
Sing-along Concert and the Festival of
Cultures in the Berlin Philharmonie, the
Berlin LeaderChor for managers, and the
Liederbörse (Song Exchange) and education program, SING!, for children and young
people. In September 2014, Rundfunkchor
Berlin hosted the third Berlin International
Masterclass for young professional choral
conductors from all over the world.
Simon Halsey
Simon Halsey (chorus master) has been
principal conductor of Rundfunkchor Berlin
since 2001. His enthusiasm, wit, and passionate pedagogical dedication have made
him one of the most sought-after choral
conductors in the world. A London native,
Mr. Halsey was appointed director of music
at the University of Warwick at age 22. Two
years later, Simon Rattle designated him
as director of the City of Birmingham
Symphony Orchestra Chorus, a position he
still holds. Between 1997 and 2008 he was
engaged as guest conductor, and then
principal conductor, of the Netherlands
Radio Chorus in Hilversum. He also
directed the Chorus of Royal Northern
Sinfonia at Sage Gateshead. In 2012 Mr.
Halsey was appointed artistic director of
Vokalhelden, the new youth choral program
of the Berliner Philharmoniker, and later
that year, he became the director of both
the London Symphony Chorus and the BBC
Proms Youth Choir.
In addition to his work as a conductor and
choral trainer, Mr. Halsey is in demand as a
pedagogue. He has taken on positions at
the University of Birmingham and the
Royal Welsh College of Music and Drama
in Cardiff, as well as guest lectureships
at Yale University, among numerous other
institutions. With Rundfunkchor Berlin
he established the Berlin International
Masterclass, which took place for the third
time in September. For his outstanding
contributions to choral music in Germany,
Mr. Halsey was awarded the Order of
Merit of the Federal Republic of Germany
in 2010.
Boy Choristers of St. Thomas
Church
The Boy Choristers of St. Thomas Church,
also called the Saint Thomas Choir of Men
and Boys, is considered by many to be the
leading ensemble in the Anglican choral
tradition in the U.S. Directed since 2004 by
John Scott, former organist and director of
music at St. Paul’s Cathedral in London,
the choir performs regularly with periodinstrument ensembles, Concert Royal,
Sinfonia New York, and the Orchestra of
St. Luke’s as part of its own concert series.
Its primary mission, however, is to provide
music for five choral services each week.
The Saint Thomas Choir is the only
Anglican choral foundation in the world
today which broadcasts all of its choral services live on the web.
The choir has toured throughout the U.S. and
Europe with performances at Westminster
Abbey and St. Paul’s Cathedral in London;
King’s College, Cambridge; Windsor,
Edinburgh; St. Albans; and the Aldeburgh
Festival. In 2004, the choir toured Italy and
performed for a Papal Mass at the Vatican.
During 2007, the choir performed Bach’s
St. Matthew Passion for the opening concert of the Mexico Festival in Mexico City.
More recent concerts have included the
Bach’s Mass in B minor and St. John
Passion, Monteverdi’s Vespers of 1610, a
Henry Purcell anniversary concert, Rachmaninoff’s Vespers, the U.S. premiere of
John Tavener’s Mass, Richter’s Missa
Hyemalis, and the world premiere of Scott
Eyerly’s Spires. In 2012 the ensemble traveled to Dresden for the premiere of Lera
Auerbach’s Dresden Requiem, and toured
in Germany and Denmark.
All the boys attend Saint Thomas Choir
School. Founded in 1919, it is the only
church-related boarding choir school in the
U.S., and one of only a few choir schools
remaining in the world. The Choir School is
committed to training and educating talented musicians without regard to religious, economic, or social background.
John Scott
John Scott (chorus master) received his
earliest musical training as a chorister at
England’s Wakefield Cathedral and gained
diplomas from the Royal College of
Organists while still at school. In 1974 he
became the organ scholar of St. John’s
College, Cambridge, where he acted as
assistant to George Guest. He studied the
organ with Jonathan Bielby, Ralph
Downes, and Gillian Weir, and was the
youngest organist to appear in the Proms
when he made his debut playing Reubke’s
Sonata on the 94th Psalm in the 1977
Promenade Concerts at the Royal Albert
Hall. He served as assistant organist at St.
Paul’s and Southwark Cathedrals, and in
1990 became organist and director of
music at St. Paul’s Cathedral.
In 2004, after a 26-year association with St.
Paul’s, Mr. Scott took up the post of organist and director of music at St. Thomas
Church in New York, where he directs the
renowned Choir of Men and Boys. In
recognition of his work at St. Paul’s, he
was awarded the Lieutenant of the Royal
Victorian Order from Her Majesty Queen
Elizabeth II. Recent engagements have
included concerts in Symphony Hall,
Birmingham, Notre Dame, St. Thomas
Church in Leipzig, Cologne Cathedral,
Disney Hall, London’s Royal Albert Hall,
and King’s College, Cambridge. In March
2014 he took part in the festivities to celebrate the restoration of the organ in
London’s Royal Festival Hall, London, playing the first solo recital on the refurbished
instrument. In June he gave the premiere
of Nico Muhly’s Patterns at the National
Convention of the American Guild of
Organists in Boston.
Park Avenue Armory
Part palace, part industrial shed, Park
Avenue Armory has transformed itself from
the former home of the Seventh Regiment
into a groundbreaking cultural institution that
fills a critical void in the cultural ecology of
New York by enabling artists to create and
audiences to experience unconventional
work that cannot be mounted in traditional
performance halls and museums. Since
2007 the Armory has organized a series of
immersive performances and installations
that have drawn critical acclaim and popular
attention working independently or collaborating with other cultural institutions.
In 2010 the Armory instituted its artist-inresidence program that provides artists
with dedicated space in the building’s historic period rooms within which they can
research, create, and develop new works
across an array of disciplines. Park Avenue
Armory’s arts education programming
engages students and families with the
Armory’s artistic programming, as well as
the building’s history and architecture.
Built between 1877 and 1881, Park Avenue
Armory has been hailed as containing “the
single most important collection of 19th-century interiors to survive intact in one building” by the New York City Landmarks
Preservation Commission. The 55,000square-foot Wade Thompson Drill Hall, with
an 80-foot-high barrel vaulted roof, is one of
the largest unobstructed spaces in New York
City. The Armory’s magnificent reception
rooms were designed by leaders of the
American Aesthetic Movement, among
them Louis Comfort Tiffany, Stanford White,
Candace Wheeler, and Herter Brothers. The
building is currently undergoing a $200 million renovation designed by Pritzker Prize–
winning architects Herzog & de Meuron.
White Light Festival
I could compare my music to white light,
which contains all colors. Only a prism can
divide the colors and make them appear;
this prism could be the spirit of the listener.
—Arvo Pärt. Celebrating its fifth anniversary, the White Light Festival is Lincoln
Center’s annual exploration of music
and art’s power to reveal the many dimensions of our interior lives. International in
scope, the multidisciplinary Festival offers
a broad spectrum of the world’s leading
instrumentalists, vocalists, ensembles,
choreographers, dance companies, and
directors complemented by conversations
with artists and scholars and post-performance White Light Lounges.
Lincoln Center for the Performing
Arts, Inc.
Lincoln Center for the Performing Arts
(LCPA) serves three primary roles: presenter of artistic programming, national leader
in arts and education and community relations, and manager of the Lincoln Center
