From Verdi to "O sole mio": An evening full of musical diversity
The concert includes works from different eras – from Renaissance madrigals to opera arias by Verdi, Puccini, Rossini and Monteverdi to classics such as “O sole mio” and “Time to Say Goodbye (Con te partirò)” by Andrea Bocelli.
The pianist Mizuho Quaiser-Itakura and the mandolinist Nataliya Korchynska will also solo pieces and musically enrich the evening.
