Carlo Rizzi will lead the SOI in the final concert of the season in a rich and varied programme that blends operatic drama, lyrical beauty and symphonic grandeur. The evening opens with Overture to Semiramide, where Rossini’s brilliance shines through in a vibrant orchestral display. Renowned Italian tenor Davide Giusti will then join the orchestra for a selection of beloved Italian songs by Tosti and Cardillo, full of heartfelt emotion and expressive lyricism. Puccini’s Intermezzo from Manon Lescaut and Wagner’s dramatic Prelude to Act III of Lohengrin will add dramatic intensity before the season concludes with Beethoven’s celebrated Symphony No. 5, a work whose famous four-note motif continues to resonate as a symbol of victory and hope.
