A night of musical grandeur with the Opera Australia Orchestra and Chorus in full force.
Mozart’s final gift to the world, his Requiem in D Minor, is the stuff of legends. A monumental Mass for the Dead, written as Mozart was facing his own demise, the story behind its creation is as famous as the music itself.
Experience one of the most influential pieces of music ever written as it was meant to be heard in this one-night-only concert featuring the Opera Australia Orchestra and Opera Australia Chorus. Feel the dramatic intensity of the fiery ‘Dies Irae’ and the heart-wrenching ‘Lacrimosa’, one of the most recognisable tunes Mozart ever wrote.
In addition to Mozart’s Requiem, the Opera Australia Orchestra will dazzle with a series of orchestral works, including the famous overture from The Marriage of Figaro, Tchaikovsky’s energetic Russian Dance, and pieces that showcase the virtuosity of our acclaimed Concertmaster, violinist Matthieu Arama.
