Athens State Orchestra – Vassilis Christopoulos

Giuseppe Verdi: The Most Popular Requiem



Due to the ERT (Hellenic Broadcasting Corp) shutdown, the concert of the Athens State Orchestra on Giuseppe Verdi's Requiem, initially scheduled for 14 June at the Odeon of Herodes Atticus, is cancelled.

Those who bought tickers for the concert, can get their refund from Thursday 13 June, at the Greek Festival's Box Office (Panepistimiou 39, inside the Pesmazoglou Arcade – Call center: +30 210 3272 000).

We apologize for the inconvenience caused.
The Athens State Orchestra honours the bicentenary of Verdi’s birth with the great composer’s Requiem. As prolific as he was popular, Verdi wrote 28 operas, numerous arias from which have become part and parcel of Italian popular culture. His Requiem is frequently performed as a musical commentary on tragic events.


Devastated by the death of Alessandro Manzoni, the fiery patriot and Romantic man of letters, Verdi wrote a mass in 1874 for the service marking the first anniversary of the poet’s death. A masterpiece of its genre, the Requiem is undeniable proof of its composer’s genius.
