A staged version of Verdi’s Requiem returns to the Opera House
For nearly a century, it has been a tradition of the Hungarian State Opera to mark All Souls’ Day with Verdi’s Requiem as a reflection on mortality, a tradition that, in recent decades, has also been associated with the national day of mourning on 4 November. Premiered in 2024, the OPERA presents the requiem mass in a staged version directed by Ádám Tulassay. This year’s principal performers are Zsuzsanna Ádám, Erika Gál, István Kovácsházi, and Gosh Sargsyan, with Jiří Habart conducting the OPERA Orchestra and Chorus.
