Three Italian tenors - concert
15 May 2023Private event hosted by the National Theatre in Bucharest. The responsibility for the quality and content of this event lies solely with the organizer! What could be more appropriate in the most beautiful month of the year, when the trees are in bloom and nature shows its full splendour, than a musical journey in "Bella Italia" to the rhythms of Neapolitan cantatas and the most famous arias from Italian operas, but also remembering the shores of the seas that bathe the "homeland of music", the Adriatic on one side and the Mediterranean, Tyrrhenian and Ligurian on the other! And who could be more appropriate to take us into this musical story than the three Italian tenors who grew up listening to and singing these famous songs and arias as children? Who would feel them, experience them and sing them better than they? That's why we thought that arias like "Nessun dorma", "E lucevan le stelle", "La donna e mobile" or songs like "O sole mio", "Santa Lucia", "Funiculi, Funicula" or "Caruso", just to mention a few of the ones you will hear, will make you step optimistically into the summer to come! The performance "3 Italian Tenors" is a tribute to the great tenors José Carreras, Plácido Domingo and Luciano Pavarotti, three legendary artists who have conquered the whole world with their voices and performances, and the exceptional voices of the three guest tenors, Domenico Menini, Alessandro Goldoni and Angelo Forte, voices in the purest style of Italian belcanto, will remind the audience of the beautiful voices of those who founded this concept. The other guests, who will enhance our event, will be no less! From Europe's largest music academy, the Mozarteum Academy in Salzburg, baritone Fernando Araujo, professor of the "Opera Class" at this prestigious academy, is joining us. Baritone Alfio Grasso (Italy), will be the second lower voice to maintain the balance of the vocal registers. Soprano Jeanne Marie Druce, from France, will have to face the serenades of the three tenors, and if she can't, three beautiful ballerinas are ready to help her! The performance will be an interactive one, the musical direction being provided, following the model of Johann Strauss or, more recently, André Rieu, "with the violin in hand", by the young conductor and violin soloist Bogdan Costache, a name already known in all the philharmonics and opera houses in Europe. He will conduct the famous Orchestra di Teatro D’Opera italiana and the Vox Opera Orchestra, making it easy for you to meet once again famous instrumentalists from Europe and the world! The stage coordination of the Orchestra di Teatro D'Opera Italiana, the Vox Opera Chorus, Orchestra and Ballet, as well as all the guest soloists, will be provided by director and choreographer Vlad Sebastian. The audience will be humming the famous refrains of the songs, along with our beautiful choristers, so that everyone will vibrate and experience art at its best! Won't you be coming to the great opera houses of Italy in the near future to hear the beautiful voices of famous Italian tenors in the purest style of the Italian belcanto? You have the chance to do it in your city! They will come to us! In the wonderful month of May! Translated by Andreea Codrea-Boeriu
