A gala in celebration of Verdi and Verismo! Liudmyla Monastyrska has ‘deep knowledge of Verdi’s artistic development,’ and has a formidable spinto voice, with an incredibly rich timbre, according to international press. A favourite Rigoletto on the international stage, Dimitris Platanias performs equally often Macbeth, Nabucco, and Tonio in major opera houses. A joint appearance by them in a rich and varied programme promises an unforgettable opera experience.
