Angela Papale and Fabio Marra
Playing as a chamber music duo, Soprano and Piano, they carry out an intense concert activity in an artistic partnership of high profile which, during a long and successful experience throughout the world, has made them protagonists in prestigious Theatres, Festivals and Concert Halls such as:
Musik Halle, Hamburg – Friedenauer Kammerkonzerte, Berlin – Places des Artes, Montreal – Alti Concert Hall, Kyoto – Teatro Nacional de Monterrey (Mexico) – Estonian National Opera, Tallinn – UBS Concert Hall, Vancouver – Teatro Sao Josè, Oporto – Teatro Nacional de Cordoba – St. Petersburg Festival Hall – New York University Concert Hall – Salle Debussy, Nantes – Teatro Indipendencia, Mendoza – Pomeranian Music Hall, Szczecin (Poland) – Salle Mozart, Tolone – The Hugh Lane Concert Hall, Dublin – Ionescu Music Hall, Bucharest – Opera House, Seoul – Vlamsee Opera, Gent – Salle Moliere, Lyon, receiving everywhere warm praise from audiences and critics, as well as prizes and awards, as ambassadors in the promotion and spread of the Italian cultural music, in particular of the Opera.
The presented programmes are always formulated through careful philological and musicological research, which accents the interpretative qualities of a wide lyric and operatic repertoire that is rich of those expressive and musical peculiarities deeply rooted in the great Italian and European operatic tradition.
At the same time, rarely heard compositions of great authors between the 19th and 20th century are also rightly highlighted in a thorough and comprehensive panorama of the lyric and operatic production.
On the occasion of the 150th Anniversary of the Unification of Italy (2011), the President of the Republic, Giorgio Napolitano, addressed praises and commendations to them for the uniqueness and quality of their cultural and musical proposals.FREE EVENT – TICKETS CAN BE COLLECTED ON FIRST COME FIRST SERVED BASIS AT
