The quietest whispers develop into colossal, climactic moments that push both the chorus and the orchestra to give everything they have. Instead of focusing on religious messages, Verdi’s Requiem delves into the final questions of human existence on a more general level. Choreographer Christian Spuck combines the oratoric score for four solo singers and a large chorus and orchestra to a visual world of dance, abstract scenes, space, and light.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Finnish National Opera and Ballet</p><p>20.10.-18.11.2023</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Performances:</p><p>20.10. / 24.10. / 26.10. / 31.10. / 1.11. / 3.11. / 8.11. / 10.11. / 14.11. / 16.11. at 19.00</p><p>4.11. / 18.11. at 14.00</p><p>11.11. at 13.00</p><p>Tickets 20-134€, duration 1 h 30 min, age recommendation 12+</p>
