The Polish thinker Władysław Tatarkiewicz wrote that the artistic work is a conscious human activity, capable of reproducing things, constructing forms or expressing an experience, with results that can delight, excite or shock. It is beyond doubt that every staging is an artistic act that reinterprets and visualizes a previous reality, be it literary, musical, visual or a mixture of the three. In this case, the always controversial Italian director Romeo Castellucci has made an interpretation of death and life as circular cycles from the Requiem and other works by Mozart linked more or less with a death that, for the musician and in accordance with a famous letter sent to his father, was "man's best and true friend."

A priori, everything points to it being one of the shows of the year: a musical masterpiece, the Requiem by Mozart; an extraordinary musical director, the Italian Giovanni Antonini, founder of Il Giardino Armonico; and a highly renowned stage creator, the also Italian Romeo Castellucci, which premieres at the Liceu. All of this with the Orchestra and Choir of the Gran Teatro del Liceu, where there will be seven performances, from February 18 to 26 (on the 17th there will be a concert version performance for those under 35 at the Sagrada Família, which will be recorded by the Arte channel).
