๐ผ Verdi Requiem - St Mary's Church, Woburn
Time: 19:30 - 21:30
โช๏ธDoor time: 7:00pm
โช๏ธStart time: 7:30pm
โช๏ธAges: Suitable for ages 8+
(under 16s must be accompanied by an adult)
โช๏ธMusic: Classical
โน๏ธ ABOUT
In 1873 the Italian poet, novelist and national hero Alessandro Manzoni died. Verdi had been a lifelong admirer and was deeply affected by his death. He decided to write a Requiem in Manzoniโs memory, and began by re-working the Libera me which he had composed five years earlier, part of an ill-fated collaboration initially conceived as a memorial to Gioachino Rossini. Though this piece is Verdiโs only large-scale work not intended for the stage, the Requiem is unashamedly theatrical in style, with passages of great tenderness and simplicity, contrasting with intensely dramatic sections. Writing at the time, the eminent conductor and pianist Hans von Bรผlow aptly described it as โVerdiโs latest opera, in church vestmentsโ. The first performance of the Messa di Requiem took place on 22nd May 1874, the first anniversary of Manzoniโs death, in St. Markโs Church, Milan. Special permission had to be obtained from the Archbishop to allow inclusion of female choristers, who were hidden behind a screen and clad in full-length black dresses and mourning veils. Although the performance was a success, the constraining circumstances and prohibition of applause produced a somewhat muted reaction. In contrast, the second performance three days later, at La Scala Opera House, was received by the capacity crowd with tumultuous enthusiasm, which has been the response of audiences ever since.
