VERDI’S “REQUIEM”Sunday, May 16, 2010 - 3:00 pm • Oconomowoc Arts CenterWaukesha Choral Union’s biggest collaboration ever!With Bel Canto Chorus, Milwaukee Choristers and Milwaukee Symphony OrchestraThe story of this major work is a puzzle in itself. It begins with the death of fellow composer, Gioachino Rossini in 1868. Giuseppe Verdi proposed a memorial mass, in which leading Italian composers would each contribute one section. The project was poorly organized and was never performed. Five years later, the Italian writer and humanist Alessandro Manzoni, whom Verdi had admired all his adult life and met in 1868, died. Verdi resolved to complete the work, this time entirely of his own writing. The “Requiem” was first performed the following May in Milan. Verdi himself conducted. In the following year, it was given all over Italy, in Paris, London, Vienna, and even America. The “Requiem” has become one of Verdi’s most popular compositions. With all the groups contributing to this spectacular performance, the only way to guarantee a seat is with a WCU Season Ticket. |
