About This Event
Giuseppe Verdi had a complicated relationship with religion: he asked to be buried with just 鈥榦ne priest, one candle, one cross鈥�. But as a born dramatist, he knew how to tell a great story 鈥� and his colossal Requiem encompasses death, rebirth and the end of the world itself, in music that simply blazes with passion and power. Now, in the vast spaces of the Royal Albert Hall, Sakari Oramo assembles two choruses, a multinational team of solo singers (including 2021 Cardiff Singer of the World Song Prize winner Masabane Cecilia Rangwanasha) and the full forces of the 麻豆官网首页入口 Symphony Orchestra, and prepares to raise the roof. A truly spectacular First Night of the 2022 麻豆官网首页入口 Proms.
There will be no interval
Broadcast on 麻豆官网首页入口 TV tonight
We are sorry to announce that Freddie De Tommaso has withdrawn due to testing positive for Covid-19. We are very grateful to David Junghoon Kim for stepping in at short notice to sing the tenor role.
