Tribute to Vincenzo Bellini at Italian Institut

From 17 Nov 2010 to 17 Nov 2010

18 November 2010. The Italian Cultural Institute pays homage to the life and music of the Italian composer of the Romantic period Vincenzo Bellini (1801-1835) with a screening of extracts from his operas La Sonnambula with Nathalie Dessay, Norma with Edita Gruberova and his last work, I Puritani, with Anna Netrebko.

Bellini was a child prodigy and at the age of five he already played the piano perfectly. He then studied at the conservatory in Naples and became a master of the so-called Italian operatic bel canto and was particularly appreciated worldwide for his opera Norma.

Event takes place at the Michelangelo Hall and starts at 19.00.
