Messa da Requiem
A multidisciplinary performance of Verdi's Requiem with Dutch National Opera and Dutch National Ballet.
After the success of Missa in tempore belli in the previous season, the Chorus of Dutch National Opera and the dancers of Dutch National Ballet are once again joining forces. Under the direction of choreographer and director Christian Spuck, they share the stage with four soloists, accompanied by the Rotterdam Philharmonic Orchestra. In his interpretation of Verdi's Messa da Requiem, Spuck brings together vocal music and dance in a virtuoso way in poetic and powerful tableaux.
