«MESSA DA REQUIEM»Requiem von Giuseppe Verdi (1813-1901)Koproduktion der Oper Zürich mit dem Ballett ZürichChoreografie von Christian SpuckMusikalische Leitu...

A permanent feature in the concert repertoire, Giuseppe Verdi’s Messa da Requiem takes to the stage in a sensational co-production of the Finnish National Opera and Ballet. This masterpiece, which was composed to Catholic liturgy in Latin, is just as captivatingly dramatic as Verdi’s operas. The quietest whispers develop into colossal, climactic moments that push both the chorus and the orchestra to give everything they have. Instead of focusing on religious messages, Verdi’s Requiem delves into the final questions of human existence on a more general level. Choreographer Christian Spuck combines the oratoric score for four solo singers and a large chorus and orchestra to a visual world of dance, abstract scenes, space, and light.

Christian Spuck visualises Verdi’s music
Choreographer Christian Spuck, the Artistic Director of Ballett Zürich, has created an interpretation of the Requiem, which doesn’t merely aim to illustrate a liturgy about the Final Judgment. Instead, it provides an abstract visualisation of Verdi’s music by observing the human condition at the face of death. In addition to the Chorus of the Finnish National Opera, the large chorus comprises the Helsinki Philharmonic Choir. The dancers of the Finnish National Ballet perform solo and duet numbers but also contribute to bigger groups, where they move together with the solo singers and chorus under Spuck’s direction.
