Easter Concert: Mozart's Requiem

About the Event

Experience classical music like never before in this astonishing performance of masterworks by Mozart at Rome's remarkable All Saints Church.
The Requiem was commissioned from Mozart by an unknown person in the summer of 1791 while he was busy composing the “Magic Flute” Singpiel to a libretto by Emanuel Schikaneder. Having accepted the commission he enthusiastically began its composition, which he was never able to complete in fact, he died a few months later on the same day he finished the Confutatis maledictis on December 5, 1791. Completion was entrusted by his wife to Franz Xaver Sussmayr, Mozart's pupil and friend.

All Saints Church

All Saints' Church serves the Anglican community in Rome. It is an active English‐speaking parish that continues the ministry of the Church of England in Italy — a tradition that began in 1816.
All Saints' Church was built in 1880 on a design by architect George Edmund Street, a leading light of the Victorian Gothic Revival, and the church is an excellent example of the Victorian English aesthetic. The interior of the church is decorated with mosaic roundels in which typically‐Anglican symbols can be seen. Today, All Saints' Church hosts a variety of classical concerts, including opera performances featuring talented artists from all over the world.
