VERDI: Requiem
Summary
Music Director Carlos Miguel Prieto leads the LPO and New Orleans Vocal Chorale in the LPO’s 2014-2015 season finale performance of Verdi’s Requiem. Composed in 1874 in memory of one of Verdi’s closest friends, the Requiem is still hailed by critics as one of the finest works of classical music ever conceived. Elizabeth DeShong, mezzo-soprano, and Louisiana natives Alfred Walker, tenor, Lori Guilbeau, soprano, and Paul Groves, baritone, bring the vocal fireworks at the heart of Verdi’s masterpiece.
