Yayınlanma tarihi: Şub 10, 2019

War Requiem: Staging a Masterpiece was filmed over 12 months, with unprecedented access this landmark film follows the English National Opera as they pursue the challenge of staging Benjamin Britten's War Requiem. One of the greatest British choral works of the 20th Century, War Requiem is seen by many as a true masterpiece. The ENO is the first company to transform the work into a dramatised performance. Artistic Director Daniel Kramer engaged a team drawn from across the world including the Turner Prize-winning artist Wolfgang Tillmans: 'By keeping War Requiem alive and relevant today, we will be able to remember the sense of urgency that people in the post-war generation felt, a sense of never again.'
