"Piccola Lirica” at Theatro Flaiano is the young yard of the opera created to build in a popular context some of the major expressions of classical music and music drama of the most famous authors. The formula is original, brilliant, audacious for its programming choices as well as for the musical, directing and dramaturgical redefining of the scores
ReplyDeleteThanks for the tip on Piccola Lirica. It's always interesting to hear about and see new interpretations of opera.
