Chicago Symphony to Stream Performance of Verdi's Requiem Online Lots of people love the Verdi Requiem. Now the Chicago Symphony Orchestra and its music director, Riccardo Muti, are inviting people to "like" it as well: the ensemble will mark Giuseppe Verdi's 200th birthday on Thursday evening by streaming a live performance of the Requiem on their Facebook page and on more than 30 other Web sites around the world. The concert, which will begin at 8:30 p.m. Eastern time (7:30 Central), will feature Tatiana Serjan, Daniela Barcellona, Mario Zeffiri, Ildar Abdrazakov and the Chicago Symphony Chorus. The sold-out concert will also be simulcast live in Chicago's Millennium Park and at the Benito Juarez Community Academy Performing Arts Center.
