Wagner & Verdi: RTV Slovenia Symphony Orchestra

O wydarzeniu

Lorenzo Castriota conducts RTV Slovenia Symphony Orchestra to commemorate the bicentenary of both composers in Cankarjev Dom.

In 2013 the music world celebrates the anniversary of two important composers, Richard Wagner and Giuseppe Verdi. Both composers were born two hundred years ago, and left a lasting impression on the great book of 19th century music. The RTV Slovenia Symphony Orchestra will honour these musical giants, so it promises to be an interesting and pleasant evening of their music, which will be complemented with works by both composers’ younger colleague, Pietro Mascagni. The programme has been prepared and will be conducted by one of the most important Italian conductors of the middle generation, Lorenzo Castriota, who was assistant to the famous Giuseppe Patanè, and developed his expertise further with Leonard Bernstein. He mostly conducts in leading opera houses and is a composer who also passes down his knowledge as a respected teacher.
