Rediscover Verdi's Requiem

This isn't your typical requiem; it's Verdi unbuttoned and unbound. With St.Clair's commentary slicing through the history and straight to the heart, expect a visceral journey through the "Dies irae," where terror and beauty collide, and the "Sanctus," a celestial burst of clarity. The "Libera me" is not just sung; it's unleashed—a raw, pleading force of nature that will seize your soul.

Buckle up for an audacious concert where the sacred meets the gut-wrenching drama of the opera house. Forget what you thought you knew—this is Verdi, reinvented.

You’ll not only get to enjoy the music but also commentary from Music Director Carl St.Clair as he guides you through the piece before it is performed. This concert is performed without intermission.
