On the Day of the Dead we remember those who have passed away with ofrendas, catrinas, cempasúchil and music! That’s why the Mozart Requiem concert is coming to CDMX, a musical experience that will make you feel like you are traveling to other planes to connect with the love of those who have passed away.
And if there is a musical composition that can bridge us with the dead is Mozart’s Requiem, the last work of the Austrian musician that is full of mystery, unknowns and beauty.
When and where will be the concert of Mozart’s Requiem in CDMX?
This Day of the Dead show will be a tribute to the dead through Mozart’s Requiem, one of the most famous works of the musician that remained unfinished after being interrupted by the death of the Austrian genius in 1791.
This wonderful concert will be on October 28 and 31 at the María Teresa Montoya Theater (Eje Central Lázaro Cárdenas, 912) at 8:00 pm and promises to be a moving evening that will lead us to remember our deceased in every note.
The Requiem is one of the best works to represent death. Legend has it that Mozart received this mysterious anonymous musical commission to the door of his house, with the condition of not investigating who asked for it. The death of the musician interrupted his work and left the composition unfinished.
His pupil Franz Xaver Süssmayr completed the piece and over the years it became a funereal and majestic symbol of death with memorable parts within the composition, such as “Lacrimosa” and “Dies Irae”.
