The Verdi Requiem… a mind-altering experience! Long, arching melodic passages of exceptional beauty are stunningly punctuated with thunderbolts of the composer’s apocalyptic vision.
At once profoundly personal and thunderous, requiring an orchestra and chorus HUGE in every way – this is the only appropriate finale to an extraordinary Festival Orchestra Week.
This operatic work of epic proportions for full orchestra, four exceptional soloists and chorus was created as a heroic monument. Definitely not an ecclesiastic requiem, it is universally performed in tribute to beloved cultural icons, such as maestro Sir George Solti and Princess Diana.
Barbara Quintiliani, Soprano – Verdi specialist with fearless high notes
