A Requiem that will leave your pulse racing and your spirit enriched.

We Say...
Verdi, the great master of Italian opera in the 19th century, was a lifelong atheist. But that didn't stop him from composing a setting of the Requiem Mass in memory of the poet Alessandro Manzoni. Many people have suggested that this work is merely an opera in disguise and it's hard to disagree. Rarely have the words of the Mass been interpreted with such power and drama — the opening of the "Dies Irae" sets the pulse racing with its whiplash orchestral chords and driving choral line. Verdi writes for his four soloists with all the fervour and vivid colour that you'd expect to encounter on the operatic stage. The tenor aria "Ingemisco" is as heartrendingly beautiful as any declaration of love, and the "Libera me," barely sung, rather whispered by the soprano, might have been plucked from "Macbeth." More often encountered in the concert hall, Verdi's Requiem will leave your pulse racing and your spirit enriched.
