ENRICO CARUSO the voice and the passion

The concert is the occasion to celebrate the great Enrico Caruso, one of the greatest tenors of all times.

PUCCINI in LOVE

He loves me, he loves me not. The most beautiful love arias and duets of melodrama

PUCCINI in LOVE

Puccini grew up surrounded by women, his mother and six sisters, he payed tribute to women's world in every single Opera with great sensitivity. Key characters whom nobody can remain indifferent. Female’s characters are protagonist in all his drama, carriers of emotions and ideologies, pivot and soul of every story, even if sometimes some male characters try to overwhelm them. Manon, “the little woman in love”; Tosca, passionate and devotee; Mimì, who lives only when she loves; hapless Butterfly, the love over all; Turandot, icy and detached princess…These are Puccini women: sorrowful heroines that he deeply loved.

EMOCIÓN ÓPERA Y TANGO

The same passion, the same drama

EMOCIÓN ÓPERA Y TANGO

An unusual combination where the great tradition of Italian opera meets the rhythms of tango and Argentine folklore. There are many connections between these two worlds. They are geographically distant but so closely linked. Tango derives largely from Italian immigration to Argentina and it is no coincidence that the greatest composers of this genre have obviously Italian surnames.
Famous opera pieces will dialogue with historical and poignant tangoes, in a plot made of nostalgia and passion, seduction and sensuality.
