Verdi's Requiem

The highlight of the 2019 Bleach* program, don't miss this concert under the stars. Verdi’s Requiem embodies the music which captures a crucial moment in time. Requiem represents a bright new start for the City as well as the Festival. The Festival’s crowning production, this music is a clarion call to come together and look deep inside ourselves as the music calls us to look within and continue to believe.

After the poet and hero, Alessandro Manzoni, who was also Verdi’s close friend, died, Verdi was wracked with grief. Unable to go to the funeral, Verdi composed a requiem in memoriam. What resulted from such pain is one of the most influential works for orchestra and voice ever formed.

Also known as “an opera in ecclesiastical vestments,” the opera shows Verdi’s gift for dramatic writing. The magnificent score requires almost a hundred musicians and an ensemble of more than sixty singers. Profound and searching for answers to some tough questions, the opera sweeps the audiences into a dramatic journey from despair to hope. Verdi's excellent work has proven to be timeless.
