Portland Opera presents Verdi's Requiem

Verdi’s Requiem is music that reaches directly into the soul. It is a powerful, emotional journey through life, death, and the hope for something greater. Written as a tribute to his dear friend Alessandro Manzoni, the first of Verdi’s late masterpieces carries the weight of his deep personal loss yet speaks universally to the struggles we all face: the pain of grief, the fear of the unknown, and the search for peace. 

Featuring internationally acclaimed soloists and the Portland Opera Orchestra and Chorus with The Choral Arts Ensemble of Portland, this one-night-only production will electrify the Keller Auditorium for an unforgettable evening..

Whether we have endured personal bereavement, uncertainty, or the weight of difficult times, this formidable music gives voice to emotions that are often difficult to express. With each extraordinary vocal and instrumental feat Verdi beckons us to come face-to-face with life’s most profound moments and find joy within sorrow.
