A blockbuster

Operatic in scale, bombastic in execution, Opera Philadelphia invite you to experience the wonder, passion and glory of Verdi's incredible Requiem in celebration of Corrado Rovardi's 20th year with the company. Featuring the talents of the full orchestra and chorus alongside soloists Leah Crocetto, Daniela Mack, Evan Le Roy Johnson and In-Sung Jim, enjoy an epic and unmissable performance of the iconic chorale.

Considered one of the canon's juggernauts, the work first premiered in 1874 and was dedicated to Verdi's friend, the poet Alessandro Manzoni. Though not immediately popular with audiences who couldn't reconcile the operatic style with the religious subject matter, it has since gone on to become a Romantic Era landmark.
