Info
There is probably no other work in which the realms of opera and concert are merged as seamlessly as in Verdi's great "opera in ecclesiastical robes". Under the influence of the death of Italian poet Alessandro Manzoni, whom Verdi revered, he created a work of overwhelming urgency around the texts of the Latin requiem, one that has lost none of its power to this day. Conducted by Music Director Philippe Jordan and with a cast of first-class singers and the Wiener Singverein, a moving evening is guaranteed.
