Sirkus Requiem Tickets

Verdi's Requiem is one of the most beloved works written for vocal soloists, choir, and orchestra. In Verdi's own time, it was rarely performed in churches, as it was considered too operatic and dramatic. Although it is a Mass for the dead, the music takes us through life and death, light and darkness, hope and despair.

In a turbulent time of war and natural disasters, Cirkus Requiem aims to highlight both the beauty and the hardship of being human. Oscarsborg holds an important place in Norway’s war history and now takes on new significance as the world prepares for conflict. More than ever, we need the hopeful and healing power of culture.

This performance will also appeal to a younger audience. New, nature-inspired expressions and intergenerational experiments are necessary to bring together a broad and diverse audience, and this initiative is exactly that.

The performance lasts approximately 90 minutes without intermission. It is sung in Latin and will not be translated during the performance.
