Event Information

Scored for full symphony orchestra, massive choral forces and operatic soloists of the highest order, Verdi's Requiem has secured itself as one of the greatest pieces of music ever written. By combining his dramatic operatic style with the text of the Catholic mass for the dead, Verdi created a requiem to which all others are compared. Deeply moving as an exaltation of humanity, this piece seeks out the extremes of joy, sadness, fear, hope and peace.
