Note from the Director by Peter Sellars

Imagine the first followers, broken and bereft the night after the Crucifixion. After a tri - umphal 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 dispir - ited 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 over - whelming exercise in compassion.

My ritual “staging” is primarily focused on Bach’s spatial imagination and the moral ener - gies 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 perfor - mances 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 dia - logues. 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 dis - tance.” Quite the opposite: we are invited “to open it and go inside.”
