Johann Sebastian Bach’s St. John Passion, BWV 245 is one of the greatest masterpieces of sacred music ever composed. In this powerful performance, the Gospel narrative comes to life through a profound balance of drama, contemplation, and spirituality.
Arias, chorales, and recitatives intertwine in a musical fresco of extraordinary expressive intensity, leading the audience on a deeply emotional and spiritual journey.
This performance, entrusted to outstanding performers and conducted with stylistic sensitivity, takes place in the evocative setting of St. Paul’s Within the Walls Church in Rome—an ideal venue to enhance the sacred and meditative dimension of Bach’s work.

St. Paul’s within the Walls Church
ST. PAUL’S WITHIN THE WALLS CHURCH
The 19th-century church of St. Paul within the Walls is an Anglican church located in the city centre of Rome and it has always hosted classical music performers and singers because of its fine acoustics. Built in 1873, it was the first non-Catholic Roman church to be built inside the walls of Rome.
The Church’s atmosphere becomes utterly magic at night, when the moonlight pierces through the rose windows and the candles enlighten the nave in a religious silence. Abandon yourself to the beauty of our concerts in a suggestive atmosphere.
An incredible intimate experience in the heart of the eternal city, at the border between past and future.
