»Every piece of music has its own heaven,« Verdi once said. His music was composed under the clear skies of »Bella Italia«. Verdi’s music stirs powerful emotions, yet always remains genuine and true – and beautiful, as beautiful as the sky over Italy. Many of Verdi’s operas feature that »very special« hit. World-famous examples include the »Chorus of the Prisoners« from »Nabucco«, »Preghiera di Desdemona« (Ave Maria) and »Ella giammai m’amò«. They rank among the most moving works European music has ever produced.
»Nabucco«, »La Traviata«, »Rigoletto«, »Il Trovatore« or »Aida« are masterpieces from the very first to the very last bar. With his soft, full timbre, Italy’s star tenor Cristian Lanza, together with Silvia Rampazzo and baritone Giulio Boschetti, as well as the choir and orchestra of the Milano Festival Opera, presents the very finest of Verdi’s magnificent arias, duets and choruses. With great talent and even greater emotion, Cristian Lanza knows how to give his voice wings.
