Performance NotesVerdi conducted a full rehearsal on 12 May 1875. Two concerts were originally planned but two more were added due to demand.

This was an extra performance due to the popularity of the first two concerts.

"The Requiem for Manzoni has incontestestably made it's mark. The Programme on Saturday afternoon was as warmly applauded as either of its precursors. The presence of Signor Verdi was enough to impart life and spirit of the whole: and rarely have we seen an audience more thoroughly pleased than that which for the third time crowded the Albert Hall. That the gifted dramatic composer is also a conductor of exceptional ability is the unanimous opinion abroard; and the rare instances which have enabled us to test him here in this capacity suffice to justify the opinion"
(The Times, 14 May 1875)
