The testament of a genius, shrouded in a fascinating legend: the circumstances surrounding the composition of Mozart's Requiem have contributed as much to its popularity as its inherent beauty. With it, the requiem mass becomes a passage to eternity.

In 1791, exhausted by his work, Mozart received a mysterious anonymous commission: a requiem—actually intended for Count Walsegg. Ill and soon bedridden, Mozart died on December 5th without having completed the score. It was finished based on his sketches by his pupil Franz Xaver Süßmayr. The diverse repertoire of Les Épopées, an operatic company that freely explores both sacred music and Baroque and Classical opera, perfectly suits this Requiem Mass, to which Mozart lends great expressive fervor. With its music director Stéphane Fuget, the ensemble returns to Dijon after performing Monteverdi's L'Orfeo last season, in collaboration with the Opera Chorus. Their program combines the Requiem with choral works by Beethoven and Schubert, imbued with a contemplative spirituality and open to consolation.
