One of the most famous requiems along with Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart’s,
Giuseppe Verdi’s Requiem has an interesting history. When Gioacchino Rossini died in 1868, Verdi suggested that Italian composers collaborate to write a Requiem to honour him. Verdi wrote the final part, Libera me… but sadly, the performance never happened. Five years later, when Italian writer Alessandro Manzoni died, Verdi decided to recycle his Libera me and composed the Requiem in memory of this artist he had admired all his adult life.Tickets

What if you could be in an opera?
Have you ever wondered why you have to sit during a concert? Can music reach the most vulnerable members of our society? What if we could all sing in an opera?
As part of the English Touring Opera and the Fondation EME respectively, Maddy and Sarah create original performances that are inclusive of all ages and abilities. With elegance, skill and humour, they work to make music accessible to all whilst also playfully challenging our preconceptions of what a typical concert experience should be.
