W. A. Mozart
Requiem
8:30pm | St. Stephen’s Cathedral
Listen to the traditional Mozart Requiem before All Saints' Day in St Stephen's Cathedral in Vienna!
W. A. Mozart's Requiem is one of the best and most moving pieces of classical music. The myths surrounding Mozart's last composition contribute to the incredible appeal of this masterpiece. The Requiem contains the strong emotions that people experience in the face of death: Fear, anger, despair, sadness, hope, consolation.
Mozart's connection with St Stephen's Cathedral is known the world over. Mozart married his wife Konstanze in St. Stephen's Cathedral and two of his children were baptised here. After his death, he was laid to rest in the cathedral before being transferred to St Marx's Cemetery in Vienna. Mozart's name can be found both in the death record and in the so-called Bahrleihbuch (death register) of the cathedral, and his marriage to Constanze Weber (Nannerl) is also noted.
