A monumental work of remembrance and reconciliation, Britten’s War Requiem is one of the most powerful statements in 20th Century music. Combining the timeless Latin Mass for the Dead with the poignant war poetry of Wilfred Owen, Britten weaves together massive choral forces, soloists and orchestra to confront the horror of war and the longing for peace. Stark, beautiful and deeply moving, don’t miss this rare opportunity to experience a towering masterpiece that still speaks urgently to our time.
