Carnegie Hall

Verdi’s Requiem is a 90-minute journey of operatic intensity, heart-stopping musical grandeur, and existential human drama. It’s not often that Verdi was criticized as “too operatic”—but when his Requiem first emerged, critics found its relentless, emotionally heightened energy to be of questionable taste for an ostensibly sacred work. These same traits make for a thrilling concert experience, highlighting a monumental cornerstone of the orchestral-choral repertoire today. Experience his legendary creation brought to life by The Cleveland Orchestra (“America’s finest,” according to The New York Times), Music Director Franz Welser-Möst, and four of the world’s foremost vocal soloists: Asmik Grigorian, Deniz Uzun, Joshua Guerrero, and Tareq Nazmi.
