We’re joined by a starry line-up of soloists in Verdi’s roof-raising Requiem.

Verdi poured all his expertise in depicting human emotion into this choral masterpiece. There is violence in the ‘Dies Irae’ movement, and grandeur in the ‘Tuba Mirum’, heralded by eight trumpets. Joyful praise resounds in the ‘Sanctus’, and the ‘Agnus Dei’ opens with a spine-tingling unaccompanied duet for the soprano and mezzo soloists.

Our Principal Conductor Santtu-Matias Rouvali takes the helm to open the Philharmonia’s season with this landmark of 19th-century music. Among the soloists is Welsh-Ukrainian soprano Natalya Romaniw, who played the title role in a ‘sumptuously sung’ (The Guardian) production of Tosca at the Royal Opera House last year.
