The LPO opens the 2025-2026 season in collaboration with the New Orleans Opera to perform Guiseppe Verdi's soaring and dramatic Requiem, his personal statement of both grief and cultural pride, inspired by the deaths of two Italian artists, composer Gioachino Rossini and writer Alessandro Manzoni.

Verdi’s Requiem

Orpheum Theater

Rossini’s Il barbiere di Siviglia is a riotous romp of disguise, deception, and delight. Meet Figaro—Seville’s most famous barber and mischief-maker—who’s always one step ahead with a plan (and a punchline). When young Count Almaviva falls for the clever and charming Rosina, it’s up to Figaro to outwit her scheming guardian and make true love triumph.
