Verdi: Requiem presales

SEASON OPENER 26–27 — PRESALES START NOW

The greatest opera Verdi never wrote, the most dramatic sacred music ever composed

Verdi’s Requiem stands alongside Mozart’s in a class of its own: written by a genius (as Johannes Brahms put it), overwhelmingly grand yet surprisingly intimate, traversing the entire spectrum of human emotion.

From the ominous, thundering Dies Irae to the achingly beautiful Requiem Aeternam, its scale and scope are immense, its emotional expression breathtakingly wide. And despite its liturgical framework, Verdi succeeded in making the two core themes of every requiem—fear and hope—tangible and accessible to believers and non-believers alike.

Reserve your tickets now for Verdi: Requiem, with Brussels Philharmonic and the Vlaams Radiokoor under the direction of Kazushi Ono, on 26 & 27 September at Flagey.
