Claudio Abbado In Rehearsal Details

Claudio Abbado In Rehearsal

In this rehearsal program, Claudio Abbado, internationally acclaimed as one of the finest conductors of the day, is seen working on Giuseppe Verdi's Requiem. Recorded in the Church of San Marco in Milan, the original venue of the world premiere of Requiem, the film shows rehearsals for this grandiose musical creation taking place in three different locations: at the Chiesa di San Marco in Milan with some or all of the soloists, choir and orchestra; on the main stage at Teatro alla Scala with the orchestra on its own; and, thirdly, in one of the rehearsal rooms of the opera house, in some cases with different singers who were involved in a second performance. The result is an opportunity to directly compare the performances of two sopranos and two tenors.
