Description:
Finally completed in 1875, this religious composition
– by a professed agnostic, no less – became
a benchmark in the history of music. Known largely for
his 28 operas, Giuseppe Verdi achieved a new level with
his Requiem, for he was finally free from the
restrictive trappings of the stage. Awesome in scale,
magnificently pictorial, and profoundly moving, the
work sweeps you up in the eternal forces Verdi’s
imagination and skill summons. Be there when Neal Gittleman,
the Orchestra, Chorus, and soloists realize this great
drama in the vivid acoustic environment of the Mead
Theatre.
