The Northampton Bach Choir joins the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra for its final concert in the RPO’s 2023/24 season in Northampton with a performance of Verdi’s dramatic choral masterpiece at the Northampton Derngate Theatre.

Dies irae, dies illa… Trumpets blast, drums thunder and a mighty chorus cries out in terror. A Requiem is a service for the dead, but there was never any chance that an old fighter like Giuseppe Verdi would go quietly into the night. Sure enough, his huge Requiem Mass has been called the grandest opera he never wrote: thrillingly dramatic, blazing with emotion and conceived on an absolutely gigantic scale.

Conducted by Adrian Partington, this performance is a chance to hear this fantastic piece that you cannot miss!
