Additional Performance Information
The sublime and terrifying beauty of Verdi's Requiem surrounds you in performances led by legendary former Music Director Riccardo Muti, whose masterful interpretation brings to life the transcendent "Lacrymosa," the heavens-shaking "Dies irae," and the grace-filled finale.
Verdi’s Requiem has been called “one of the most sublime and terrifying works in the repertoire” (NPR), filled with transcendent moments, from the ineffably sorrowful “Lacrymosa” to the heavens-shaking final judgement of the “Dies irae” to the hushed finale, blessed by grace.
Former Music Director Riccardo Muti returns to Philadelphia for this not-to-be-missed engagement. “Verdi is his life’s work,” wrote the New York Times of this legendary conductor. His interpretations of Verdi’s Requiem, which combines the grandeur and drama of opera with soaring orchestral composition, have been hailed as “glorious music-making … this was Verdi’s Requiem in all its humanity" (Chicago Tribune).
