A monumental work, the German Requiem of Johannes Brahms is an elegy created following the loss of his mentor, composer Robert Schumann, and of his mother. Inspired by the solemn beauty of the piece, choreographer Andrew Skeels presents a poignant work that explores the profundity of human connections.
Dive into the universe of Brahms' Requiem with the detailed show notes.
With Choir, Soloists and Les Grands Ballets Orchestra
