The new year of the Orchestra della Toscana opens, as is tradition, with a special concert. On the podium is Diego Ceretta, principal conductor of the ORT, leading an operatic program that combines elegance and theatricality, entrusted to the voices of soprano Giuliana Gianfaldoni and tenor Riccardo Della Sciucca. Two young but already acclaimed performers, regular guests of the major Italian and European theatres.
On the program are arias and symphonic pieces by Vincenzo Bellini, Richard Wagner, Gaetano Donizetti, Giacomo Puccini, and Giuseppe Verdi: three different sound worlds, united by a concept of singing that transcends styles, eras, and sensibilities. A selection that prioritizes lyrical intensity, the beauty of tone, and melodic invention, without renouncing moments of energy and momentum.
The concert offers a festive yet unconventional occasion, designed to welcome the coming year with the communicative power of the voice and the musical quality that distinguishes the ORT.
