Fauré Requiem by Fauré, Πεμ 09 Ιουν 2022, Aπό (2022/2022), αγωγός Dominique Rouits, Opéra, Massy, France

An exceptional concert bringing together the choirs of the City of Massy. “My Requiem was composed for nothing…for fun, if I may say so! He was executed for the first time at the Madeleine, on the occasion of the funeral of a any parishioner. This work in seven parts, was composed in full maturity by Gabriel Fauré. Still considered one of his greatest masterpieces, this Requiem is unlike any other of the time. Influenced by ancient music, and borrowed from an incomparable poetry, this pillar of the choral repertoire makes death appear "as a happy deliverance, an aspiration to happiness beyond, rather than as a painful passage". This same warmth will seize the choirs of the City, gathered on the stage of the Opéra de Massy for this exceptional concert. Living forces of the territory for several decades, the Orchestra is proud to be able to surround itself with local voices, thus crossing amateur and professional practice. It will also be an opportunity for the public to (re)discover other wonders of the choral repertoire.
