The collaboration with the Grec Festival means an opportunity for the choir to “go on stage” with dramaturgy and costumes designed for the occasion. A production that will surprise the audience with the choir moving around the stage and acting and singing in a more theatrical format and in a different register than the conventional concert. A daring and semi-staged version of Mozart’s Requiem, which the Orfeó, a great connoisseur of this work, will perform without a score. The main objective is for "Mozart's Requiem to cease being a concert, and become a complete stage show, where the protagonist will continue to be the force of the music, but which will be accompanied by video-projected texts, choreographed numbers, a costume design and a lighting design that will help to redefine and broaden this wonderful score to turn it into the script of a much more theatrical, almost operatic experience", according to Pere Faura, with whom the Orfeó is collaborating for the first time.
