Requiem was written in memory of the Italian writer, Alessandro Manzoni, who had a great influence on Italian Romanticism. It received its premiere on the first anniversary of Manzoni’s death at the San Marco Church in Milan, conducted by Verdi himself. After its premiere, Requiem was quickly noticed and performed in concert halls around the world, which was generally unusual for religious music.
The concert will last approximately 90 minutes with no intermission.
