Mozart's Requiem - Festival d'Aix-en-Provence 2019

Relive an unforgettable musical and theatrical experience with this singular production of Mozart's Requiem, staged by the defiantly nonconformist director Romeo Castellucci at the Aix-en-Provence Festival in 2019. Raphaël Pichon leads his acclaimed ensemble Pygmalion, whose impeccable musicianship and refreshingly original approach to early music have led them to the highest echelon of period-instrument outfits working today. Four magnificent solo voices—soprano Siobhan Stagg, alto Sara Mingardo, tenor Martin Mitterrutzner, and bass Luca Tittoto—blend seamlessly with the choir and orchestra in the most famous of all requiem masses, left unfinished by Mozart at his death. "Mozart's Requiem," writes musicologist Olivier Bellamy, "is resolutely theatrical. From moment to moment, the music alternates between terror, joy, supplication, exaltation, and scriptural piety."
