Italian vocal artistry enjoys a reputation like no other—and thanks to Franco Vassallo, audiences at the Rudolfinum will have the chance to experience it first-hand. The celebrated baritone, known for iconic roles such as Figaro and Falstaff, will perform arias from his signature repertoire. But the evening won’t be devoted to opera alone: he will also present songs by Ralph Vaughan Williams, inspired by the rugged beauty of the Scottish landscape.

Dvořák Hall Rudolfinum

At the 12th Opera Gala in Bonn, international stars from the world’s biggest stages perform together on a single evening. They will delight audiences with a varied musical program at the highest level – accompanied by the Beethoven Orchestra Bonn and the Bonn Theatre Opera Chorus. All the artists performing waive their fees for a good cause.

Opengala

Theater Bonn Opera House

An anthem to life that unites the earthly and the sacred. Music Director Andrea Battistoni has selected two rare and precious works of dazzling energy: Sinigaglia’s Piemonte and Mascagni’s Messa di Gloria. The suite by the Turin-born maestro gives voice to the simple joys of rural life, from springtime games to Carnival pranks, reimagining Piedmontese folk songs with the sumptuous colors of the symphonic orchestra. The Messa will be a delightful discovery for fans of Cavalleria rusticana, who will find the same sense of spontaneous religiosity in a more extended and elaborate form, with an explosion of lyricism brought to life by the superb voices of Dmitry Korchak and Franco Vassallo.
