Come hear
Verdi’s Requiem
To celebrate the bicentenary of the birth
of the Italian composer, Giuseppe
Verdi (1813-1901), the University of
Sydney Graduate Choir will open its 2013
subscription season with a performance
of his choral masterpiece, the Messa da
Requiem, on 28 April.
To perform this celebrated work
according to Verdi’s wishes, the choir
needs more singers than the Great Hall
can accommodate, so it will be mounted
in the Sydney Town Hall. The choir will
invite 200 guest singers to join in, and will
present the work as a community event, as
per its “Sydney Sings Messiah” concerts.
Verdi’s Requiem,
3pm 28 April in the Sydney Town Hall
