Hearing these immortal notes at the Steri Concert Hall, right where that story began, will offer a unique and unforgettable experience.
‘La donna è mobile’, ‘Il Libiamo’, ‘L’Addio del passato’: a captivating live journey, featuring a grand orchestra, a choir and extraordinary voices, to rediscover the truest spirit of Italian opera.
