What's On
Leonard Bernstein’s Mass at the Bridgewater Hall
Prepare to experience Leonard Bernstein’s monumental Mass as we present this extraordinary spectacle to Manchester audiences for the very first time.
Famous for fusing genres and blurring the line between classical and popular music, this powerful work is a creative reimagination of the traditional Catholic mass infused with a wealth of catchy tunes, captivating harmonic progressions, and gripping rhythmic patterns. This incredible display of music, theatrics, and drama was commissioned by Jacqueline Kennedy to inaugurate the John F Kennedy Centre in 1971 and we can’t wait to bring it to The Bridgewater Hall.
