It is a secular ceremony, where we meet in a room to share reflection, sadness, thoughtfulness and inner meditation.\n\nThe newly written, remixed text is about the finality of life, the dystopian time we live in, about responsibility, guilt and reconciliation. It is performed by a choir, dancers, singers, electronic and acoustic instruments in a strongly visual space.\n\nIn Requiem, NewOpera CO for the first time collaborates with a choir. The choral music has taken inspiration from both liturgical and classical repertoire, but will also merge with electronic music and soundscapes that bring in another dimension. Along with the choir, three soloists, three dancers and a cellist are involved. The newly created choreography will be in the center of the scenic performance.\n\nRequiem will be a secular mass for anyone who seeks a deeper understanding of the mystique of life.\n\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:quote -->\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote\"><!-- wp:paragraph -->\n\nFor anyone who was not part of the small group who experienced any of the three performances of Niklas Ryd\u00e9n&#8217;s and New Opera&#8217;s latest work of art, Requiem, at Atalante, I can only console you with the fact that the work will be reborn \u2013 next year. \/Britt Nordberg, Alba.\n\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph --><\/blockquote>\n<!-- \/wp:quote -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.alba.nu\/sidor\/36934\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">&#8220;Exceptional Requiem for our time&#8221;<\/a> &#8211; review in Alba.nu (swedish)<br>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.illyrien.se\/2020\/09\/09\/requiem-pa-atalante-aven-for-flyktinglagret-moria\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">&#8220;Requiem at Atalante, but also for the Moria refugee camp&#8221;<\/a> &#8211; Bj\u00f6rn Sandmarks words about Requiem (swedish)\n\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\n\n<br>\n\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<br>\nRequiem was originally premiered september 9 2020 at Atalante, 2020.
