2025-05-04 19:00 (America/Los_Angeles) | Walt Disney Concert Hall, 111 South Grand Avenue, Los Angeles, California, 90012, United States
“The Chorale presents the highly anticipated U.S. premiere of Rufus Wainwright’s Dream Requiem with Jane Fonda as the narrator. Dream Requiem merges two long standing creative visions — Wainwright’s fascination with Byron’s poem Darkness, depicting global upheaval after the 1815 Mount Tambora eruption, and his lifelong admiration for the great Requiems of Verdi, Berlioz and Britten. This powerful and evocative modern-day requiem, with sublime harmonies and emotive storytelling, is an opulent composition that seamlessly weaves together Wainwright’s distinctive musical voice with the timeless liturgy of the Latin Requiem Mass.”
