Verdi’s Requiem in Edinburgh - BBC SSO Edinburgh 2023/24 Series by Verdi, -tól (2024/2024), Karmester Ryan Wigglesworth, Usher Hall, Edinburgh, United Kingdom

About This Event Judgement Day: drums roar, trumpets blast, and hundreds of voices cry to heaven. Arguably no composer had a deeper understanding of the human heart, or a more potent sense of drama, than Giuseppe Verdi. Blazing with emotion and conceived on the grandest possible scale, Verdi’s Requiem has been described as the greatest opera he never wrote. It’s raw sonic theatre, and 150 years after its first performance, our Chief Conductor Ryan Wigglesworth has assembled the Edinburgh Festival Chorus, the BBC SSO and a stellar team of solo singers – all ready to storm the ramparts of death itself. *Please note there is no interval. This concerts ends at approximately 4:30pm.
