Italian opera meets jazz ft. Claron McFadden, Mike Del Ferro
Puccini, Verdi arias and Neapolitan songs blend with jazz, blues, and Afro-Cuban rhythms, creating a unique, multi-layered sound experience. On stage: internationally acclaimed pianist Mike del Ferro and opera diva Klarona Macfayden, together with the Sinfonietta Riga chamber orchestra, conducted by Normunds Šnē. A vibrant, lively, and unforgettable musical experience!
Legendary Italian arias will be sung in Riga by Dutch-based American opera diva Claron McFadden, whose extraordinary soprano allows her to seamlessly combine classical music with jazz and traditional repertoire with modern. McFadden’s musical versatility has earned her the Amsterdam Prize for the Arts as well as leading roles in operas at the prestigious Glyndebourne and Salzburg Festivals. In Riga, both outstanding guests will perform together with the no less brilliant chamber orchestra Sinfonietta Rīga under the direction of conductor Normunds Šnē.
