Concert: Italian Carnival

Italian Carnival!

From Paganini to Puccini—and the Neapolitan songs that conquered the world!

An evening devoted entirely to Italy: love, passion, drama, and unforgettable melodies. Beloved arias and duets by Bellini, Donizetti, Rossini, Verdi, and Puccini, from Tosca, Rigoletto, La traviata, The Barber of Seville, and The Elixir of Love—alongside Paganini’s dazzling virtuosity and the Neapolitan songs we all know and love: O Sole Mio, Funiculì Funiculà, and more.

Pianist Orit Wolf hosts mandolin virtuoso Shmuel Elbaz, tenor Yotam Cohen, and soprano Ira Bertman in a captivating, colorful original production.

Between the music and voices are the stories behind the great operas—the loves, passions, jealousies, and dramas that gave rise to some of the most beautiful melodies in history.

Classical music meets popular Italy, opera meets mandolin, and the stage becomes, for one evening, a celebration of beauty, emotion, and Italian joie de vivre.

Italian Carnival—an exciting, surprising, and enthralling musical experience not to be missed!
