Rufus Wainwright's Dream Requiem: Dream Requiem Wainwright

The Chorale presents the highly anticipated U.S. premiere of Rufus Wainwright’s Dream Requiem. Dream Requiem merges two long standing creative visions — Wainwright’s fascination with Byron's poem Darkness, depicting global upheaval after the 1815 Mount Tambora eruption, and his lifelong admiration for the great Requiems of Verdi, Berlioz and Britten. Navigating themes of societal and environmental collapse, the transformative power of upheaval, and the mourning of lost dreams, Dream Requiem intertwines Byron's narrative with the ritual of the Latin requiem liturgy.
