The Northampton Bach Choir joins the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra
for its final concert in the RPO’s 2023/24 season in Northampton
with a performance of Verdi’s dramatic choral masterpiece at the
Northampton Derngate Theatre.
Dies irae, dies illa… Trumpets blast, drums thunder and a mighty
chorus cries out in terror. A Requiem is a service for the dead, but
there was never any chance that an old fighter like Giuseppe Verdi
would go quietly into the night. Sure enough, his huge Requiem Mass
has been called the grandest opera he never wrote: thrillingly
dramatic, blazing with emotion and conceived on an absolutely
gigantic scale.
Conducted by Adrian Partington, this performance is a chance to hear
this fantastic piece that you cannot miss!Programme:
