Celebrate the festive season with Bach’s revelatory choral masterpiece.
The Australian Chamber Orchestra and Pinchgut Opera come together for Bach's glorious oratorio, led by Richard Tognetti and Pinchgut Opera's Artistic Director, Erin Helyard.
Bringing together the ACO's remarkable musicians with a phenomenal ensemble of Pinchgut singers, this special collaboration celebrates one of Bach's most uplifting masterpieces. Featuring exultant choral passages, radiant solos and magnificent orchestral forces. Bach canvases the joy and wonder of the nativity story as Mary contemplates motherhood, the angels appear in triumphant glory before the shepherds and wise men bow before a tiny babe.
Richard Tognetti's affinity for Bach is renowned, while Erin Helyard and Pinchgut Opera have become synonymous with historically informed performances of extraordinary vitality and insight. Together, these two acclaimed ensembles promise a festive musical experience of exceptional artistry.
With only three performances, book early to experience one of the highlights of the Christmas season.
