First performed 150 years ago, Verdi’s masterpiece roars into the Royal Albert Hall for its anniversary celebrations. This emotional rollercoaster isn’t just a mournful ode to the departed, it’s a thunderous celebration of life and death. Verdi himself conducted the British premiere at the Royal Albert Hall, delighting the audience with its gigantic musical forces. \n\nThis high-octane performance features four star soloists, soprano Latonia Moore, mezzo-soprano Karen Cargill, tenor SeokJong Baek and bass Soloman Howard, with conductor Ryan Bancroft, the BBC National Orchestra of Wales and not one but two choirs, BBC National Chorus of Wales and Crouch End Festival Chorus.
