An Italian opera festival prudently resumes
mainThe Valle d’Itria Festival says it will take place in modified form from 14 July to 2 August in the Apulia town of Martina Franca.
The programme includes two Strauss operas in the open air – Ariadne auf Naxos and Le bourgeois gentilhomme –
The music director is Fabio Luisi.
Report here.
no problem for a modified form, this programming is audience poison anyway, come back celetti and segalini
Hello Ed, and thanks for this encouraging bit of news! That festival is a major one of the Euro Summer Festivals. Ariadne auf Naxos is an opera and sometimes performed with the other piece which is actually a short play with music.
Ariadne is one of my big favorites.
So it sounds like you and Jim are doing well. Glad to hear that. Cheers!
