"Mozart's Musical and Stage Requiem" by the Stara Zagora Opera will be performed on October 5 in Sarajevo, Bosnia and Herzegovina.

RECQUIEM IN SARAJEVO - a musical-stage performance for all ages, an event that will definitely leave all attendees breathless, on 5 October 2024 at Mirza Delibašić Hall, Skenderija - writes the local website https://www.klix.ba/

"Thirty years after the famous Sarajevo Requiem, the spectacular Carmina Burana and the unforgettable Three Tenors, we offer the audience the opportunity to hear and see the magical music of Mozart's Requiem in a new, multi-genre stage performance, where, in addition to orchestra, choir and world opera soloists, actors, ballet soloists and ballet ensemble participate.

The production is designed with original costumes and striking set design by Italian set designer Salvatore Russo and choreography by the renowned Silvia Tomova - all under the watchful eye of director Ognyan Draganov.

Mozart's magnificent music is interspersed with selected texts by Italian poet Dante Alighieri, culminating in the final scene from the opera Don Giovanni.

The performance of Requiem in Sarajevo is not only a musical and stage performance, but also a platform for international collaboration between artists from Europe and Bosnia and Herzegovina.

Along with the great musical stars, more than 150 top artists of the State Opera and Ballet-Stara Zagora from Bulgaria, as well as our artists from Bosnia and Herzegovina will perform on stage.

Mozart's last work: the composer's stirring unfinished "swan song" Requiem was performed on the stage of the Antique Forum Augusta Traiana in Stara Zagora on 20 and 31 July 2023.

The performance in Stara Zagora and on 5 October 2024 in Sarajevo was conducted by the eminent Bosnian conductor Emir Nuhanović - winner of the Freedom Award for his contribution to humanism and human rights in Bosnia and Herzegovina, Europe and the world.

In 1994, world-renowned conductor Zubin Mehta conducted Mozart's Requiem in a performance by the Sarajevo Choir and Orchestra amid the ruins of the National Library in the city, destroyed by bombs during the Yugoslav war.
