Verdi has given us a musical expression of grief that’s both deeply intimate and supremely spectacular and that combination is what makes his Requiem one of the best-loved choral works in the repertoire.
Verdi’s Requiem might be funeral music – a mass for the dead – but its emotional impact, and the sheer drama of the music, is equal to a night at the opera.
So, if you love his operas (Rigoletto, La Traviata, Aida…) join us to experience the theatrical genius of his Requiem with our Festival Chorus, stars of the Australian opera stage and the Sydney Philharmonia Orchestra in full force.
