    About this event

    Giuseppe Verdi鈥檚 antipathy towards the church is vividly demonstrated in his operas, yet the Four Sacred Pieces, the original version of the 鈥楲ibera me鈥� from his dramatic Requiem and his setting of the 鈥楢ve Maria鈥� for soprano and string orchestra are works of great fervour and beauty.

    The orchestral version of his 1873 String Quartet opens a programme in which conductor Sir Antonio Pappano, soprano Maria Agresta and the Orchestra and Chorus of the Academy of Santa Cecilia, Rome, bring an authentically Italian bite to the music of the man who, with Wagner, shaped the development of 19th-century opera.
