ADDITIONAL INFORMATION ON THIS PERFORMANCE
Always fascinated by all aspects of singing, an insatiable voice enthusiast, Roberto Alagna has never stopped exploring all artistic territories. At the Folies Bergère, last May, he celebrated two anniversaries in music, his 60th birthday and his 40th year of artistic life, and offered a unique concert composed of the arias that have marked his exceptional career, some of the great works of his favorite opera composers, from Puccini (“Nessun Dorma” in Turandot ) to Tchaikovsky (“Kuda, kuda vi udalilis” in Eugene Onegin ), via Gounod ( Romeo and Juliet ), Verdi ( La Forza del Destino ) or Ruggiero Leoncavallo (“Sérénade française”), but also the great successes of Italian popular song, to which Alagna owes his love of singing: “La Spagnola” by Vincenzo Di Chiara, “Be My Love” by Mario Lanza or “Funicula, funiculi” by Luigi Denza. A concert with the Odyssey Symphony Orchestra under the direction of Roberto Alagna’s conductor, friend and great accomplice, Yvan Cassar.
With Oh La La, Alagna!, an anthology of great international standards, performed in concert by Roberto Alagna, the tenor invites us to discover, with the complicity of musical directors such as Yvan Cassar or Frédéric Manoukian and their orchestras, his extra-lyrical universe born both from his Sicilian origins and his passion for popular song. From Sicily to Little Italy, there are more than twenty masterfully performed arias which, such as “Mambo Italiano”, “Piensa en mi” or “Sous le soleil de Mexico”, have marked the artist’s career.
