Mozart’s Requiem

When Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart was commissioned to write a “Mass for the Dead”, i.e. a Requiem, he had no idea that he would never finish it. And it certainly did not occur to him that a number of myths and unresolved questions would also arise around this work. Did he write it for himself? Was it commissioned by the composer and his rival Antonio Salieri? On the occasion of Remembrance Day, the West Bohemian Symphony Orchestra will perform this magnificent work, fragments of which were completed by Mozart’s pupil Franz Xaver Süssmayer, with a stellar international cast of soloists who have sold out concert and opera halls around the world, under the direction of Czech rising star conductor Alena Hron.
