The Philadelphia Orchestra: Riccardo Muti - Verdi's Requiem

Verdi’s Requiem has been called “one of the most sublime and terrifying works in the repertoire” (NPR), filled with transcendent moments, from the ineffably sorrowful “Lacrymosa” to the heavens-shaking final judgement of the “Dies irae” to the hushed finale, blessed by grace. Former Music Director Riccardo Muti returns to Philadelphia for this not-to-be-missed engagement. “Verdi is his life’s work,” wrote the New York Times of this legendary conductor. His interpretations of Verdi’s Requiem, which combines the grandeur and drama of opera with soaring orchestral composition, have been hailed as “glorious music-making … this was Verdi’s Requiem in all its humanity" (Chicago Tribune). - Tickets are on sale NOW - Use special code 327RK20 to get %20 off!
