In celebration of Timothy Myers’ 2023 appointment as the Sarah and Ernest Butler Music Director, Austin Opera is thrilled to announce the launch of a new series: Opera Unleashed: Epic Masterpieces with Timothy Myers. Opera Unleashed will offer a series of company premieres over the coming seasons featuring some of the most historically significant works composed for the operatic voice. First up, the company premiere of one of the canon’s most thrilling masterpieces, Verdi’s Requiem. Declared an “opera in ecclesiastical costume” at its world premiere in 1874, Verdi’s Requiem is a monumental work for the human voice, that will feature four of opera’s biggest stars as soloists and a supersized chorus as the Austin Opera Chorus teams up with Chorus Austin in this tour de force performance.
