Must watch: Confined pensioners at Casa Verdi sing out for freedom
mainAn enduring image of our self-distancing times, directed by the baritone Armando Ariostini.
Casa Verdi is a retirement home for musicians established in Milan by the composer Giuseppe Verdi.
Oh, how wonderful. Thank you for sharing this!
A failed attempt at a Casa Wagner

Fantastic. I’ve always love the people from Italy, but now you’ve got to love them even more.
Viva Italia!
How wonderful. However I don’t believe this is at the Casa di Riposo; according to the FB comment he is at his own home in Milan. As I understand it Ariostini works tirelessly for the Casa including regular visits to the residence. Regardless of the location it celebrates the Italian spirit – or maybe just the human spirit – finding joy, hope, and comfort in music.
What a marvelous thing to do! Verdi would be proud.
I performed at Casa Verdi and talk to famous singers of the past. Piano Bechshtein was gift of Vladimir and Wanda Horowith. G.Verdi grave is in the court yard.
Bravi!
Bravi – thank you for your spirit!
