Intensely dramatic in nature, Giuseppe Verdi's transcendent Requiem is a heartfelt rumination on life and death, singing of faith, doubt, heaven and hell with breathtaking beauty and thrilling suspense. Plácido Domingo conducts the Los Angeles Opera Orchestra and the Los Angeles Opera Chorus - prepared by Grant Gershon in his debut season as Chorus Master - in the Company's first ever presentation of the transcendent Requiem. The impressive quartet of world-class vocalists includes Canadian soprano Adrianne Pieczonka, American mezzo-soprano Stephanie Blythe, and in their Company debuts, Mexican tenor Arturo Chacón-Cruz and German bass René Pape.
