Mozart: Requiem

An extraordinary spiritual heritage that speaks with immense power across centuries

If you are looking for one of the most famous compositions in the world, you will probably end up with Mozart's Requiem. The genesis of this choral masterpiece is shrouded in mystery and linked to the last months of Mozart's life.

From the solemn opening strains of the Introitus to the fiery drama of the Dies Irae, Requiem traverses the emotional spectrum with its celestial harmonies and heart-stirring melodies. Each note speaks of reflection, mortality, and the search for solace.

The combination of Symphony No.1 and the Requiem, or Mozart's first major and probably last composition, separated by almost thirty years, is not only a dramaturgical curiosity, but also a beautiful demonstration of where Mozart had reached in his work. At the same time, it is wonderful to hear that despite everything, the lightness, poetry and hope have never been lost from his music.

Performed by the acclaimed National Theatre Brno orchestra and choir, this exceptional evening is a profound tribute to Mozart’s genius. The artistry of these world-class musicians will transport you to a realm of spiritual beauty and grandeur.
