Réka Kristóf Soprano
Paul Marsovszky Conductor
The Munich Symphony Orchestra enchants with the program “Long Live Italy!”, which makes the hearts of music lovers beat faster. The carefully selected excerpts from the most outstanding works promise an immersion into the soul of opera art. The concert is not just a presentation of timeless opera pieces, but also a tribute to the uniqueness and timeless beauty of opera art. Réka Kristóf sings opera arias by Rossini, Bellini, Puccini, and Verdi, with which the legendary Greek soprano Maria Callas achieved worldwide fame. The Hungarian star soprano shines in both the opera repertoire as well as in oratorios and concerts. Her clear voice and passionate interpretation make her a remarkable personality in the world of music.
Giuseppe Verdi said: “Every music has its heaven!”. One could say, “his music was born under the sky of ‘Bella Italia’ and evokes strong emotions, yet remains as beautiful as the sky over Italy.” In five decades, Verdi composed 26 operas, each more moving than the last.
Experience the beauty and passion of the diverse Italian opera art!
