Messa da Requiem

Maestro Domingo, legendary voice in the international opera scene, will return to Piacenza after almost fifty years: in 1972 he sang at the Municipale at the premiere of Lucia di Lammermoor. On Sunday 16 he will step on the podium to conduct the grandiose Verdi masterpiece of sacred music, at the helm of the Arturo Toscaninini Philharmonic and of the Choir of the Municipal Theater of Piacenza prepared by Corrado Casati. Four internationally renowned soloists will be on stage, such as soprano Maria José Siri, mezzo-soprano Annalisa Stroppa, tenor Antonio Polie and bass Michele Pertusi. The event will be broadcast in live streaming, visible for free all over the world, thanks to OperaStreaming. To precede the performance of the Requiem, behind the soloists, the Orchestra and the Chorus, a large screen will be placed on which symbolic images will be projected that trace the memory between places and people of the pandemic in Piacenza, one of the cities most scourged by first wave of Covid, with a documentary video made by Blacklemon, directed by Andrea Pasquali.
