Defiant Requiem: Verdi at Terezín presents Verdi’s Requiem within the extraordinary true story of Jewish prisoners in the Theresienstadt Concentration Camp who performed the work as an act of spiritual resistance. Under the leadership of conductor Rafael Schächter, the prisoners sang Verdi’s powerful score in defiance of Nazi oppression. Created by Maestro Murry Sidlin, this concert-drama combines the Requiem with survivor testimony, historical footage, and spoken narrative to honor courage, dignity, and the enduring power of music.
