An open-air Verdi gala in Campocroce square
About San Rocco Lyrical Concert
Verdi's Opera Under the Stars of Campocroce
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.
Lyrical Voices and Piano
The concert brings together prominent lyrical voices — sopranos, a tenor, and a baritone — accompanied on the piano, in a program of Verdi arias and duets designed to introduce even non-specialist audiences to the great tradition of Italian melodrama. A presenter guides the audience through the pieces, explaining the operas from which they are taken.
A Community Evening
The event is promoted by the Noi di Campocroce Association with the patronage of the Municipality of Mirano and is part of the San Rocco celebrations. Admission is free, and the square, closed to traffic for the occasion, becomes an open-air theatre for the hamlet's community and for opera lovers from the Riviera del Brenta. In case of bad weather, the concert will be moved to the municipal gym on Via Mogno.
