Stabat Mater by Rossini, Mar 31 Mai 2022, De la (2022/2022), Dirijor Myung-Whun Chung, Basilique, Saint-Denis-en-Val, France

It is with one of Rossini's masterpieces that Myung-Whun Chung opens the Festival at the head of the Philharmonic Orchestra and the Radio France Choir and with a sumptuous vocal quartet including two young talents to follow: Selene Zanetti , soprano who has just triumphed in La Bohème at the Teatro di San Carlo in Naples and tenor Xabier Anduaga, winner of the 2019 Operalia Competition. At their side, two sure values: Marianna Pizzolato and Gianluca Buratto. A real triumph when first performed in Paris and then in Bologna in 1842, the famous Stabat Mater, one of Rossini's most lyrical compositions, still enchants us today.
