One hundred years since the birth of its composer, Benjamin Britten, the magnum opus War Requiem is coming to life at Auckland Arts Festival 2013. Conducted by Eckehard Stier, the full Auckland Philharmonia Orchestra is joined by fêted Irish soprano Orla Boylan and tenor Timothy Robinson, baritone Ivan Ludlow, Voices New Zealand Chamber Choir, New Zealand Youth Choir and a combined children’s choir.
This is a rare event that brings the spirit, genius and force of Britten’s masterpiece – one of the finest choral and orchestral works of the 20th century – to the Auckland Town Hall for one tremendous evening.
