VERDI Messa da Requiem
Verdi’s setting of the Latin Mass for the Dead is like no other, juxtaposing sacred devotion with operatic high drama. Ranging from tender, prayerful moments of private grief to cataclysmic outpourings of anguish, Verdi’s score lays bare the entire gamut of human emotions in the face of divine judgment, with spinechilling effect. With four outstanding soloists from Opera Australia, a chorus of over one hundred, a large symphony orchestra and blazing trumpets announcing judgment day, this performance is guaranteed to raise the roof. Sydney Chamber Choir will combine with members of Penrith City Choir, Academy Singers and Warrimoo Chorale to sweep you along in the magic of Verdi’s vocal sound.
