One of the world’s greatest choral works, Verdi’s magnificent operatic Requiem was an immediate and spectacular success at its first performance in 1874. Its overwhelming forces—some tender, some terrifying—are a monument to Verdi’s mastery of the sung word. Join The Washington Chorus and Orchestra with world-class soloists for a performance Verdi’s Requiem you won’t forget!

Please note: This concert will be performance without an intermission.
