Finally the event that par excellence inaugurates the new year!

And finally we can write 2021!

It will be held as per tradition on January 1, 2021 the New Year's Concert of the Gran Teatro La Fenice.

The New Year's Concert 2021

The Concert that will inaugurate this new year, full of expectations from all with the thankless task of making us forget the terrible one we are about to leave behind, will be performed as always by the Orchestra of the Gran Teatro La Fenice conducted by the young Oxford master Daniel Harding.

As has become a tradition, the Venetian concert is composed of two distinct parts: the first is exclusively instrumental, and the second is dedicated to melodrama, with arias and choral passages in which the Choir of the Teatro La Fenice accompanies two exceptional soloists, who this year will be the young soprano Rosa Feola and the tenor Xabier Anduga.

The final part is highly anticipated, the most cheerful and engaging, in which two pillars of Italian cultural heritage will be performed: the "Và pensiero" from Nabucco and the "Libiam né lieti calici" from La Traviata, both works by Giuseppe Verdi.
