Italy's star tenor Cristian Lanza presents The Great Verdi Gala with star soloists Silvia Rampazzo & baritone Giulio Boschetti Choir & Orchestra of the Milano Festival Opera "Every music has its heaven", Verdi once said. His music was created under the clear skies of "Bella Italia". Verdi's music arouses strong emotions, but always remains genuine and true - and beautiful, as beautiful as the sky over Italy. There is a "very special" hit in many of Verdi's operas. The world-famous "Prisoners' Chorus" from Nabucco or "Preghiera di Desdemona" (Ave Maria) or "Ella giammai m'amò". They are among the most moving works that European music has ever produced. Nabucco, La Traviata, Rigoletto, Il Trovatore and Aida are masterpieces from the first to the last bar.
Italian-born Cristian Lanza is the grandson of the world-famous singer Mario Lanza. But he has long since ventured out of his grandfather's slipstream. Cristian Lanza's lyric tenor has a softer and fuller timbre than that of his grandfather. He not only has the high notes that are expected in tenor arias, but always enchants and touches his listeners with his soulful voice. And so we can confidently proclaim: Long live Verdi! Viva Verdi!
