Which Puccini opera features a haunting Requiem in its third act? Learn!
"Requiem æternam" is a sacred choral piece from Giacomo Puccini's opera "Edgar". Composed to a libretto by Ferdinando Fontana, it is sung during a funeral scene in Act III. Unlike Puccini's later verismo masterpieces, "Edgar" is an early work that shows the influence of his teachers and Wagner, yet contains glimpses of his emerging dramatic power and melodic gift. The Requiem is a standout moment of solemn beauty in this less-performed opera.
