After the performance by the Orchestra and Choir of the Zurich Opera under the direction of Gianandrea Noseda in March, a new version of Verdi’s Requiem, this time led by Daniele Gatti with the Sächsische Staatskapelle Dresden.
The question of Verdi’s faith remains open to debate, but it seems that, at best, it was rather lukewarm. His Requiem is an intensely personal work, conceived more as a response to death and the questions it raises than as a piece about God. The score demonstrates a sense of contrast and dramatic effectiveness with few equals, and Daniele Gatti’s rigorous interpretation emphasizes the structural lines and architecture within an atmosphere of gravity. The conductor reunites with Eleonora Buratto, who had impressed in the same work in 2022, and brings in the darling of French tenors, Benjamin Bernheim.

All five levels of the Grande salle Pierre Boulez are accessed via the entrance on Level 3 of Philharmonie, which can be reached via stairways, escalators and two lifts, with direct access from the Porte de Pantin plaza and the Philharmonie parking facility.
From the entrance, stairways and lifts inside the hall take visitors to the various levels.
