In celebration of its 10th anniversary, the Master Chorale is honored to once again present Lagrime di San Pietro (The Tears of St. Peter), described by critics as a “mind-blowing” and “overwhelmingly emotional” experience that redefines the possibilities of choral music.
Directed by the legendary Peter Sellars, this production transforms a Renaissance masterpiece into a visceral, contemporary stage work. A cycle of 21 spiritual madrigals that explore themes of grief, regret and memory, 21 singers perform the work entirely by heart while embodying its complex polyphony and emotional turbulence.
Having toured globally to critical acclaim, the Los Angeles Times called Lagrime di San Pietro “a major accomplishment for music history,” and international critics deemed it “painfully beautiful,” “stunning and sublime” and “life-changing.”
Packing a massive emotional punch as living, breathing drama, Lagrime di San Pietro is life-changing and utterly unmissable.
