Barbican’s new year’s requiem

PREVIEW: VERDI REQUIEM (LSO)
Barbican

THE Barbican’s new year gets off to a promising start with two performances of Verdi’s Requiem.
Conducted by the LSO’s President, Sir Colin Davis. Sir Colin – a great enthusiast for the vocal and orchestral sound world – will be joined in these performances by an outstanding international cast that includes the American soprano Christine Brewer (who was awarded the Royal Philharmonic Society/ BBC Radio 3 Listeners’ Award this year), the acclaimed Russian mezzo-soprano Larissa Diadkova, tenor Stuart Neill who has sung the Verdi Requiem to great acclaim more than 175 times and the Canadian bass John Relyea.
• Verdi Requiem is at the Barbican, Silk Street, on January 11 and 14 at 7.30pm.

• For details of the LSO Discovery Day (January 11, 10am-5.30pm), contact
