At the time of its creation, the theatrical and “belcantist” aspect of Verdi’s “Requiem” had been the subject of controversy, summed up by the unfortunately famous words of the Wagnerian conductor Hans de Bülow: “an opera in an ecclesiastical dress.”
In fact, Verdi wrote a masterpiece of sacred music of universal value – on the same level as the Requiems written by Mozart, Brahms, Berlioz … or Bach’s Passions.

And Teodora Gheorghiu just performed Verdi’s “Requiem” at Arsenal de Metz.

The Arsenal Concert Hall is a cultural venue dedicated specially to classical and art music and located near the Esplanade garden in Metz, capital of the Lorraine region, France. The Arsenal is home to the Orchestre National de Lorraine and almost 200 events are spread over the season period between September and June.

The Arsenal de Matz has gained wide recognition as one of the most beautiful concert halls in the world and it is highly praised for the quality of its musical acoustics. Probably among the best.
