Marking 100 years from the passing of the great composer Giacomo Puccini, Pula Summer of Culture presents the first of two Puccini spectacles!
The gala concert of opera arias from Puccini's most famous operas - Manon Lescaut, La Bohème, Madama Butterfly, Gianni Schicchi, La Rondine and Tosca - will take its place in the calendars of opera lovers.
As one of the greatest opera composers of all time, he left an indelible mark on the world of music with his rich, emotional arias. His operas encompass a wide spectrum of human emotions, from passionate love to painful tragedy, and his characters are emotionally rich and realistic characters whose life stories have been attracting viewers for more than a hundred years.
The soloists, choir and orchestra of the Slovenian National Opera and Ballet Theater from Ljubljana, will bring Puccini's protagonists to life on the stage of the Little Roman Theater. The audience will have the opportunity to experience the top performance of this great ensemble, the pride of the Slovenian cultural scene. The orchestra and choir will be conducted by Ayrton Desimpelaere, a Belgian artist of the younger generation who has received a number of awards for his work, including the Medal of Merit of the Belgian government.
Under the glittering night sky in the intimacy of the stage of the Little Roman Theater, you will experience the love and pain, joy and sadness of Puccini's characters in an unforgettable performance by the top artistic ensemble of the Ljubljana Opera.
