Very powerful and moving performance, beautifully presented
I felt quite disappointed. The choir was impressive and I liked it, but the whole performance did not touch me. I did not experience the after war trauma neither the hope that was supposed to come at the end and I found it monotonous. There were also some parts of the choreography such as the one with the two men at the end who were enemies during the war that did not make sense to me. This particular scene looked like romance to me and I did not find the romantic element relevant at that point. Overall, I would expect to have experienced many and more powerful emotions watching a war requiem.
