Frequently asked questions
When is Easter?
Easter Sunday falls on the Sunday after the first full moon of spring, between 22 March and 25 April. This page adjusts to each year’s date automatically.
Do I need to know classical music to enjoy a Passion?
Not at all. A Passion often lasts two to three hours, with an interval, and the programme usually prints the words. Audience reviews tell you about the acoustics and the performance.
