In order to anchor the topic of diversity more clearly in the classical music scene, Thomas Höft has overwritten the well-known "St. John Passion" by Johann Sebastian Bach with a completely new libretto, which instead of the story of Jesus' suffering places the story of the suffering of discriminated and murdered lesbian, gay, and trans people at the centre of the reflection.
It is not about external provocation, but about the serious question of our behaviour towards the suffering of people who were/are persecuted because of their sexuality.

Der Projektkünstler Stefan Weiller präsentiert die »Letzten Lieder« in einer Neubearbeitung im Deutschen Schauspielhaus Hamburg. Für dieses dokumentarische Musik-Theater-Projekt führte der Autor in Hospizen Gespräche mit schwerstkranken und sterbenden Menschen über Musik, die ihnen in ihrem Leben etwas bedeutet hat – und noch immer wichtig ist. Die unterschiedlichsten Eindrücke bringt Stefan Weiller in intensive Geschichten, Szenen und Einsichten im Spiegel des zu Ende gehenden Lebens. Liebe und Lebenslust, Abschied, Tod und Trauer werden sinnlich verwoben. Offen, berührend, manchmal umwerfend komisch und immer wahrhaftig. Die live präsentierten Lieder werden durch Text, Musik und Video zum Gesamtwerk. Von Schlager über Pop bis Klassik.

This year, the St. Michaelis Choir dedicates itself on Good Friday to a wonderful rarity in the Easter repertoire: Bach's Markus-Passion, which was first performed in 1731 in the Thomaskirche in Leipzig. Tragically, the original scores were lost. However, thanks to the preserved libretto and the knowledge of individual chorales and passages, which Bach had incorporated from other works and set with the Passion text, musicologists have succeeded in resurrecting the lost masterpiece with its enchanting chorales.
The preface to the edition states: "With the use of viols and lutes and a penetrating sense of chamber music, Bach's Markus-Passion represents the most exquisite and delicate Passion possible."
Additionally, Frank Martin's Polyptyque describes stations from the Passion of Jesus, which Jörg Endebrock weaves into a collage between the fragments of Bach's Markus-Passion.
