Music Director, Manfred Honeck, presents his personal version of Mozart’s Requiem where he imagines what the Mass of Mozart’s funeral could have been like. The performance features a dramatic and theatrical treatment, including church bells, Gregorian Chant and readings from Mozart’s letters to his father and passages from the Bible. The setting is Vienna’s St. Stephen’s Cathedral at the time of Mozart’s death. The all-star cast includes John Lithgow, narrator.
