VERDI The Making of Messa Da Requiem Teatro Regio di Parma (Festival Verdi 2020) Eleonora Buratto

Giuseppe Verdi’s Messa da Requiem arose out of the composer’s
admiration for the influential poet and novelist Alessandro
Manzoni, and as a response to the lack of appreciation shown to
the writer in the press after his death in 1873. The extraordinary
character of Verdi’s Requiem confronts us with unanswerable
questions, from the stormy and terrifying Dies irae, to consolatory
and touching lyrical oases in which Verdi communicates liturgical
texts in the most profound and expressive ways possible.

This Teatro Regio di Parma production, which took place openair
at the Parco Ducale of Parma, was dedicated to the victims
of the Covid-19 pandemic and all the health workers engaged in
the emergency. The mayor of Parma introduces the performance
with a brief and touching speech and a minute’s silence.
