Summary
Sir Mark Elder conducts the City of Birmingham Symphony Orchestra, a quartet of soloists and choir in Verdi’s Requiem at Symphony Hall.
Why it's fantastic
Opera lovers will recognize this as Verdi’s most dramatic work, trading the church for the stage with its thunderous bass drums and terrifying visions of judgment. With a ninety-minute runtime and Sir Mark Elder conducting, it offers a visceral introduction to the power of a massive choir and professional orchestra in full flow.
