The Hoofdstadkoor and the Residentiekoor will sing together on December 14th in the Westerkerk. Verdi composed his Requiem with the allure of an opera. He dramatically confronts us with the mysteries of life and death. Finally, moments of stillness offer us hope and comfort. We want to share these moments with our audience, supported by an orchestra and fantastic soloists.

Giuseppe Verdi composed his Messa da Requiem, with the allure of a true opera, in memory of the poet and writer Alessandro Manzoni. Verdi dramatically confronts us with the mysteries of life and death. His music, even today, lifts us above the reality of everyday life. The moments of stillness offer us hope and comfort.
