About Monticelli Opera Concert
Opera in Monticelli di Monselice
The Monticelli Opera Concert is the event that every year brings opera music to the hamlet of Monticelli, in Monselice, province of Padua. The setting is the church of San Carlo Borromeo, which welcomes the audience for an afternoon dedicated to the great operatic repertoire.
Voices and repertoire of Italian melodrama
On stage, soprano, tenor, baritone, and piano alternate, performing famous arias from Italian melodrama, from Verdi to Bellini. Each edition is built around a theme that links the pieces and puts them in dialogue with current reflections, thanks to a presentation that accompanies the listening experience.
A free admission concert
The event, with free admission, has become a cultural tradition for the community of Monselice and Monticelli, capable of combining the quality of operatic performance with the charm of an intimate sacred space.
