Giuseppe Verdi's monumental Requiem brings operatic intensity to a sacred text, channeling the full force of his dramatic imagination. Led by Music Director Jonathon Heyward, this performance reveals how Verdi carried his romantic, theatrical voice beyond the opera house.

- Unlike many Requiems, Giuseppe Verdi’s 1874 setting emphasizes dramatic contrast and momentum across its movements, creating a continuous large-scale arc.
- The Dies irae (“Day of Wrath”) is the work’s most recognizable section, returning throughout the piece as a powerful structural anchor.
