Mozart's Requiem at Chiesa di San Paolo Entro le mura

Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart's unfinished sacred masterpiece is performed inside the Chiesa di San Paolo Entro le Mura.

The Requiem in D minor K 626 represents the last composition written by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart during 1791, which remained unfinished due to the author's death and was subsequently completed by his pupil Franz Xaver Süssmayr upon commission from Count Walsegg. This work belongs to the tradition of sacred music and is structured according to the canons of the Catholic requiem mass, uniting the severity of rigorous counterpoint inherited from the study of Johann Sebastian Bach's works with the dramatic expressiveness typical of the Classical period.

The Chiesa di San Paolo Entro le Mura hosts concerts and performances in Rome, offering its liturgical and architectural space for the performance of classical and choral music programmes. The hall regularly hosts musical events that showcase the symphonic-sacred and operatic repertoire within a monumental setting.
