“The chorus, singers and dancers are woven together equally, and are on stage together for most of the sections, with the dancers giving physical embodiment to the themes.”

Messa da Requiem
–
Glasshouse Theatre, QPAC
Where music, movement, and mortality collide.
Renowned choreographer, Christian Spuck, transforms Verdi’s masterpiece into a sculpture of living art and music in Ivan Gil-Ortega’s first curated season as artistic director. Premiering as the first production in QPAC’s new Glasshouse Theatre - and marking its Queensland debut - Messa da Requiem explores the inner depths of human emotion, blurring the lines between life, loss and the mystery beyond.
From the powerful swell of more than 110 singers and musicians to 36 Queensland Ballet artists embodying the music in movement, this unforgettable staging is both epic and intimate - transcending boundaries and merging artforms in this once‑in‑a‑generation production.
