Bellini, Donizetti, Puccini et al. - The Most Beautiful Italian Songs

Sergio Tallo-Torres, Tenor
Ekaterina Nokkert, Piano

Experience a musical journey through the soul of Italy in one of the most atmospheric places in Vienna, the crypt of St. Peter's Church. The spinto tenor Sergio Tallo-Torres combines lyrical delicacy with expressive brilliance. Together with the sensitive pianist Ekaterina Nokkert, he takes the audience into the world of the Italian bel canto tradition.

Look forward to treasures by Vincenzo Bellini, including the "6 ariette da camera," "Sogno d’infanzia," and "A riccordanza" – exquisite miniatures full of elegance and melody. With "Mattinata" by Ruggiero Leoncavallo, pure joy of life radiates through the crypt – a highlight of Italian vocal art.

A great master of opera also reveals his lyrical side: With "Storiella d’amore" and "Sogno d’or" by Giacomo Puccini, a tapestry of sound unfolds, ranging from tender intimacy to passionate drama. A great pleasure for connoisseurs and newcomers alike! The crypt is pleasantly temperate at any time of the year.
