The Metropolitan Opera’s 2021-22 season of Saturday matinee broadcasts continues with a highlight from last fall: Verdi’s Requiem, which was performed in commemoration of the 20th anniversary of 9/11.
This pre-season concert was the first performance to take place inside the Metropolitan Opera House following the company’s 18-month closure due to the pandemic.
Music Director Yannick Nézet-Séguin led the Met Chorus and Orchestra in Verdi’s powerful and deeply moving setting of the Mass, with an acclaimed quartet of soloists: soprano Ailyn Pérez, mezzo-soprano Michelle DeYoung, tenor Matthew Polenzani, and bass-baritone Eric Owens.
Verdi’s Requiem, a performance from September 11, 2021, will be heard over the Toll Brothers-Metropolitan Opera International Radio Network at 1:00 p.m. ET on Saturday, February 12. Listen to it on Classical IPR.
