The opening concert of the Teatro Dal Verme’s 80th anniversary season is presented in Lugano.
This concert offers a rare opportunity to experience in concert form Le Willis, the opera that brought Giacomo Puccini to international prominence. Although seldom performed in its original version, the work is widely regarded as one of the composer’s early masterpieces. The programme opens with César Franck’s Prière, presented in an orchestration by Ticinese composer Fabio Arnaboldi, and dedicated to the memory of Adriana Fasolis. This tribute evokes Puccini’s early association with the organ and his affinity for French symphonic aesthetics—elements that subtly inform the stylistic fabric of his youthful works.
The Association I Barocchisti issues the tickets for concerts at the Auditorio Stelio Molo independently, without relying on any external providers. For this reason, it is not possible to choose a seat, and the tickets issued are not numbered. Discounts are available for certain categories of spectators, as well as agreements with some local institutions (Conservatorio della Svizzera italiana, SUPSI).
Tickets are issued upon receipt of payment and sent via email.
