The Royal Philharmonic Orchestra finish their 2023/24 season in Northampton with the Northampton Bach Choir and Daventry Choral Society in a performance of Verdi’s dramatic choral masterpiece.
Dies irae, dies illa… Trumpets blast, drums thunder and a mighty chorus cries out in terror. A Requiem is a service for the dead, but there was never any chance that an old fighter like Giuseppe Verdi would go quietly into the night. Sure enough, his huge Requiem mass has been called the grandest opera he never wrote: thrillingly dramatic, blazing with emotion and conceived on an absolutely gigantic scale.
Conducted by Adrian Partington, this performance is a chance to hear this fantastic piece that you cannot miss!
