San Francisco Symphony - Berlioz Requiem
If I were threatened with the destruction of the whole of my works save one, I should crave mercy for the Messe des morts.
Hector Belioz
Why see San Francisco Symphony - Berlioz Requiem?
Staggering Theatrical flair
Experience the tremendous power of 300 performers as the San Francisco Symphony, Chorus, Young Woman's Choral Project of San Francisco and the Golden Gate Men's Chorus come together to perform Berlioz's enduring and magnificent masterpiece.
A grand exploration of the enigma of death and humanity's response, Requiem, otherwise known as The Grande Messes des morts, was commissioned in 1837 by the Minister for the Interior of France to commemorate the deaths of soldiers during the July Revolution of 1837. Keen to create a large-scale work, Belioz more than delivered with this passionate and monumental tribute.
