I don't know how I missed this back in April, but thanks to Fresh Air for their feature on Tuesday reviewing the latest production of Peter Sellars.
A new DVD has been released of The Berlin Philharmonic, Simon Rattle, Mark Padmore, Camilla Tilling and Thomas Quasthoff along with several choirs, performing a semi-staged production of Bach's St. Matthew Passion.
Sellars is known for staging operas in unusual venues, from Handel's Orlando in space to Mozart's The Marriage of Figaro in a luxury New York apartment. He's collaborated with John Adams and Kaija Saariaho. And who could forget his role as Dr. Ohara in the TV series Miami Vice.
