Obviously this generated more interest and emotional investment in the set of performances and the house was packed.
Every program for the opening performance of the Requiem featured one leaflet – on one side was a picture of the baritone from his last performances of “Il Trovatore” and on the backside was a eulogy. With the unfortunate passing of baritone Dmitri Hvorostovsky, the Met was afforded the opportunity to use this run to honor his memory, a move that the opera Company made with great respect. That a run of the famed mass is currently underway with the company comes down to the fact that a proposed production for another opera was canceled.īut the timing could not have been better. A performance of Verdi’s Requiem is a rather rare event at the Metropolitan Opera.
