In 2023, we will celebrate the 210th anniversary of the birth of an opera giant – Giuseppe Verdi. Next year, we will also celebrate the 170th anniversary of the premier of one of Verdi’s most famous operas, La Traviata, which will dominate the second half of the concert.
The guides through the opera world will be an excellent Czech sopranist, Zuzana Marková, who recently toured with Andrea Bocelli and American tenor, Charles Castronovo. Both of them perform regularly on world stages. They will show off their voices in arias and beautiful opera duets. The Spanish conductor, David Giménez Carreras will lead the Prague Philharmonia on this occasion.
