Rehearsal Proceeds Without Choir and Soloists
BRISBANE — Queensland Ballet has cancelled the scheduled media call for its upcoming production of Messa da Requiem, set to take place today. The decision was made to allow the choir and soloists to rest, according to a statement from the company.
The rehearsal will now feature only dancers with piano accompaniment, as visiting choreographer Christian Spuck requested additional time with the dancers ahead of the performance’s opening night tomorrow. The company confirmed that all performances will continue as scheduled.

Messa da Requiem is a collaboration with Queensland Symphony Orchestra, Brisbane Chorale, and Canticum Chamber Choir, showcasing Verdi’s iconic score.
