Verdi's Requiem

Giuseppe Verdi’s Requiem is a work that fuses the drama of opera with the solemnity of sacred liturgy, and this performance brings it to life with the combined forces of the Baltimore Symphony Orchestra and The Washington Chorus. Under the baton of Music Director Jonathon Heyward, the orchestral and vocal forces will explore how Verdi’s theatrical sensibility—honed in masterpieces like *Rigoletto* and *La traviata*—infuses every movement of the Requiem, from the thunderous *Dies irae* to the ethereal *Lux aeterna*. The concert is part of The Washington Chorus’s 2026–27 season and is scheduled for three performances in June 2027.
