From The Metropolitan Opera website: 

The performances of Verdi’s Requiem are dedicated to the memory of Dmitri Hvorostovsky. 

For the first time since 2008, James Levine conducts a special series of concerts of Verdi’s great Mass, written in memory of Italian poet Alessandro Manzoni. The company has assembled a quartet of extraordinary soloists to join the incomparable Met Orchestra and Chorus: Krassimira Stoyanova, Ekaterina Semenchuk, Aleksandrs Antonenko, and Ferruccio Furlanetto.
