About

Few works in the choral and orchestral repertoire equal the emotional force of Verdi’s Requiem. From the hushed opening prayer, through the thunderous Dies Irae to the soaring, heartfelt Libera me, Verdi transforms the traditional Mass for the Dead into a drama of humanity itself — grief, fear, hope, and redemption.

This monumental work brings together the power of the opera stage with the depth of sacred music, creating an unforgettable journey from darkness to light.
