Verdi's Dramatic Heroines - An Evening of Opera with Acha Sophia
Venue: MESZL Ötpacsirta Salon, 1088 Budapest, Ötpacsirta utca 4.
Date: October 30, 2024, 6 PM
We are delighted to invite you to the premiere of our latest performance, a tribute to the genius of Giuseppe Verdi. This evening, you will hear excerpts from masterpieces such as Macbeth, Aida, and Don Carlos. Verdi’s art uniquely combines passion, drama, and the depths of human emotion, often exploring timeless themes such as love, the quest for power, the cruelty of fate, and the trials of the human soul. His music, both lyrical and monumental, expresses the deepest emotions, creates the most dramatic moments, and brings forth the most beautiful melodies.
