The "Verdi Gala" conducted by Riccardo Muti in Busseto streamed on ravennafestival.live
On January 27, on the occasion of the anniversary of Giuseppe Verdi’s death, it will be possible to relive the emotion of the Verdi Gala conducted by Riccardo Muti at the Teatro Verdi in Busseto last December 2023: the concert will be streamed for free on the ravennafestival.live platform.
The Gala was presented on December 22nd as final event of the Ravenna Festival’s 'Autumn Trilogy', and re-proposed on the 23rd in the heart of Verdi’s land, at the Teatro Verdi in Busseto – a special event organized by the Festival in co-operation with Emilia-Romagna Region and the Municipality of Busseto to support the 'Viva Verdi' project promoted by the Italian Ministry of Culture for the acquirement and enhancement of the composer's house-museum in Sant’Agata di Villanova sull’Arda.
The concert is truly a declaration of love to Giuseppe Verdi, defined by Muti "the musician of Life”. Maestro Muti conducts ‘his’ Luigi Cherubini Youth Orchestra and the Choir of the Teatro Municipale di Piacenza in symphonies, choruses, and arias from Macbeth, Il Trovatore, I Vespri siciliani, Simon Boccanegra, La forza del destino, Don Carlo, Otello.
