Neumeier's St. Matthew Passion

[volcanohunter]

It's not yet listed on the Arthaus Musik site, but British and German Amazon have listed a forthcoming DVD of John Neumeier's Matthäus-Passion filmed five years ago in Baden-Baden with the Hamburg Ballet. The version that aired on German television was abridged to about two hours in length, but this set runs three and a half hours, so it may be a complete performance.
