Bursting out of the starting gates from the agitated opening chorus, the dramatic events of Jesus' final days unfold with compelling storytelling. An international cast of singer-actors brings the characters to life, while the acclaimed chorus Apollo's Singers evoke the wild mob with fierce intensity.
