Franco Fagioli & Michele D’Elia

Show & Culture

Bel canto literally means "beautiful singing" and Franco Fagioli promises you nothing less. The countertenor, with a soprano range and a singularly warm timbre, takes on 200 years of Italian vocal music: from gentle arias by Cavalli in the 17th century to the fireworks of Bellini or Donizetti. If you've never had the chance to hear a countertenor perform on stage, get ready to have your expectations challenged—tender one moment, dazzling virtuosity the next, and always breathtaking.
