About the program
The work of George Grigoriu opens the evening with the music from the operetta "Valurile Danării" and, after each musical work, we will be enveloped by the spirit of the writer Mihai Eminescu. A carefully chosen sonnet will ring out after each opus, adding a poetic and emotional touch, thus enhancing the musical moments.
We continue the journey with the genius of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, and during this musical foray, you will have the opportunity to revel in outstanding arias such as "Sull'aria ... Che soave zeffiretto", "Là ci darem la mano", "Pa pa pa", "Zu Hilfe!/Stirb Ungeheuer" and "Hm hm hm".
From the music of Gaetano Donizetti, the students will bring to the audience the Enrico and Serafina duet from "Il Campanello", the passionate arias "Che interminabile andirivieni" and "Per te d'immenso giubilo", as well as the sextet from "Lucia di Lammermoor".
We then return with the charming music of Felix Mendelssohn Bartholdy. Third "Scottish" Symphony Op. 56 will end this exceptional evening.
We invite you to join us for this memorable evening on a musical, visual and poetic journey full of beauty and emotion.
