An open-air Verdi gala in Campocroce square
The San Rocco Lyrical Concert is a gala of operatic music held in the historic square of Campocroce, a hamlet of Mirano, in the province of Venice. Linked to the hamlet's patronal celebrations, it offers an evening entirely dedicated to the repertoire of Giuseppe Verdi, with arias and duets from his most beloved operas, performed outdoors on Via Chiesa.
