Italian Opera Evening
25 February 2006
A spirited evening devoted to love – in all its aspects: the songs celebrated the anticipation of a budding love, ways and means of winning the object of one’s affection, sensuality and sex, the pain and sorrow of love, even thoughts of death, total dissolution and fulfilment in the other... Italian opera, in short!
An evening of arias and duets from operas by Donizetti, Bellini, Rossini, Mascagni and Verdi.
