Messa da Requiem
Where music, movement, and mortality collide
Verdi’s monumental Messa da Requiem comes alive in Christian Spuck’s breathtaking staging, fusing voices, orchestra, and 36 dancers into a living sculpture of sound and movement.
From the whispered prayers to the thunderous Dies Irae, this work explores life, death, and the mystery beyond in a collision of opera, dance, and ritual. Featuring over 110 singers and Queensland Symphony Orchestra musicians, this unforgettable staging is both epic and intimate. A once-in-a-generation experience that transcends boundaries.
It is a triumph; a pleasure to watch.
- Veronica Posth, SeeingDance
The performance absorbs and leads to wonder. There are moments of delightful beauty in some memorable solos, duets and group compositions ... Spuck’s artistry clearly shines through.
