Gregorius – The Holy Sinner
New York, Corpus Christi Church
About the Event
The twelfth‐century German knight and poet, Hartmann von Aue, shares a gripping story of triumph over despair. Sequentia performs the premiere reconstruction of a man's journey from tragedy to greatness, unaware of his tragic origins.
Hartmann's ancient narrative delves deep into the past, resonating with the timeless themes of Oedipus at its most profound moments. It is a story that embodies boundless potential and unwavering optimism. Sung in medieval German verse, with English video titles.
