Verdi's Requiem

A musical memorial of intense drama and immense scale, Verdi’s Requiem traces its history to the idea for a collaborative funeral mass in honour of Rossini, who died in 1868. Although this was not realised in the manner of his vision, Verdi’s contribution became the root of the 90-minute Requiem in honour of the pioneer Italian writer Alessandro Manzoni.

Witness this tremendous mass of operatic proportions performed by the Singapore Symphony Orchestra, Chorus, Youth Choir, and guest vocalists, under the baton of Music Director Hannu Lintu.
