About this event
This is a concert presentation of Verdi’s Messa da Requiem by the Royal Scottish National Orchestra as part of the RSNO Season 26–27. The full RSNO is joined by the RSNO Chorus and the Edinburgh Festival Chorus, with four soloists (soprano, mezzo-soprano, tenor, bass). Principal Guest Conductor Patrick Hahn leads the performances. The Edinburgh date features British Sign Language interpretation by Paul Whittaker, and there is a free pre-concert talk at 18:45 for ticket holders. Supported by the Jennie S. Gordon Memorial Foundation and recommended by Classic FM, the event offers tiered pricing and concessions. The programme is presented in traditional symphonic-choral concert format, relying on the dramatic power of Verdi’s score rather than theatrical staging.
