Previous details associated with this item and date of change.

Date of change: 19 Apr 13 - T02099345827

Prom 12 - Viva Verdi!

Work:: Prom 12 (S340)

Part of the BBC Proms.

Production:: Viva Verdi! (T02099345827)

Giuseppe Verdi's antipathy towards the church is vividly demonstrated in his operas, yet the Four Sacred Pieces, the original version of the ?Libera me' from his dramatic Requiem and his setting of the ?Ave Maria' for soprano and string orchestra are works of great fervour and beauty. The orchestral version of his 1873 String Quartet opens a programme in which conductor Sir Antonio Pappano, soprano Maria Agresta and the Orchestra and Chorus of the Academy of Santa Cecilia, Rome, bring an authentically Italian bite to the music of the man who, with Wagner, shaped the development of 19th-century opera. Finish time: approx. 21:30

Performer	Maria Agresta (soprano)
Company	Chorus of the Academy of Santa Cecdilia Rome
Company	Orchestra of the Academy of Santa Cecilia Rome
