Widely recognised as one of the most impactful choral works, the Requiem showcases Verdi at his creative peak, with sweeping melodies, powerful choral writing, and moments of tender beauty. Its demands on soloists, double-chorus, and orchestra create an epic journey through soaring prayer and fiery energy. Verdi’s Requiem is an experience that resonates with the soul – a celebration of life, memory, and transcendence that remains as powerful today as it was at its premiere in 1874.

Auckland Choral, joined by the Auckland Chamber Choir and an expanded Pipers Sinfonia, brings together over 200 performers to present this unforgettable experience of this stunning work.
