It was to be one of the highlights of the Teatro dell’Opera di Roma’s season, but in agreement with director Romeo Castellucci, the performances of Bach’s Matthäus-Passion scheduled for 10-13 April have been postponed until 2024. Due to the continuing pandemic, the project for the production directed by James Conlon could not be completed. From 19 April 2022, Rome’s opera house hosts another eagerly awaited production with Bellini’s I puritani sung by Jessica Pratt, Lawrence Brownlee and Francesco Demuro.
