In his Requiem, Verdi brought together his theatrical instincts, his gift for vocal writing and a whole life’s experience to create a musical work that spoke to an entire nation in mourning. This public expression of private grief and faith is both operatic and profound. From the terror of the “Dies irae” to the weeping “Lacrymosa” and the glowing serenity of the “Lux aeterna”, this could easily be an “opera in ecclesiastical vestments” – and that would be a compliment!
