| Performance Notes | The Royal Philharmonic Orchestra and its new Music Director, Vasily Petrenko, return to the Royal Albert Hall in 2022 with a series of British Choral Masterworks, featuring a sensational line-up of soloists and the Philharmonia Chorus.
Sixty years after its premiere, the Orchestra looks forward to delivering an unmissable performance of Brittens War Requiem an exceptionally powerful work that explores the futility of war, whilst at the same time paying tribute to its victims.
As a pacifist and conscientious objector of World War II, Britten looked to the Great War poems of Wilfred Owen to create this hauntingly beautiful masterpiece, which serves as an important reminder of the power that music has to transform and heal.
The Royal Albert Hall and Royal Philharmonic Orchestra will be donating all proceeds from this performance to the DEC Humanitarian Appeal for Ukraine.
Hospitality Dining tickets were available for £220.50 per person, which included a premium Stalls seat, champagne, three-course dinner, beverages and a programme.
The event was signed by a British Sign Language (BSL) interpreter and £7 tickets were available for BSL signing children. |
