Bologna Festival: Galà Lirico

About the Event

Immerse yourself in the stunning architecture of Bologna's breathtaking Chiostro della Basilica di Santo Stefano. The 'school' of Raina Kabaivanska is undoubtedly one of the most renowned in Europe. For a quarter of a century, the great Bulgarian soprano has devoted herself passionately to nurturing new talents. Two of her finest students are the stars of the traditional opera gala at the Bologna Festival: Iolanda Massimo, an alumna of the Perosi Conservatory in Campobasso, already on the path to a successful professional career, and Giuseppe Michelangelo Infantino, a winner of various competitions and a familiar face in numerous theaters. Accompanied by pianist Paolo Andreoli, the two artists will perform some classic pieces from 19th‐century Italian opera.
