O’ Sole Mio: Neapolitan Songs and Great Opera Arias
Florence, L'Oratorio di Santa Maria Vergine della Croce al Tempio
About the Event
An event that blends the elegance of opera with the passion and warmth of Neapolitan songs, two apparently distant but extraordinarily complementary musical worlds. “O' Sole Mio: Neapolitan Songs and Great Opera Arias” is a concert that celebrates the timeless beauty of Italian music, performed by an extraordinarily talented couple of singers formed by a soprano and a baritone, accompanied by a piano that expresses all the passion and melody of the most famous compositions.
The harmony of the performers will accompany you in a musical dialogue that ranges from the unforgettable classical arias taken from the masterpieces of Rossini, Verdi and other masters of the Italian opera tradition to the most exuberant popular songs of the Neapolitan tradition, creating an experience that tells stories of passion, joy and poignant nostalgia.
The performances of the voices will be accompanied by the enveloping and sonorous melody of the piano which will guide the audience on a journey full of sounds through the refined opera rooms and the lively streets of Naples — celebrating the beauty of music in all its forms.
