An evening of opera by Donizetti, Verdi, Rossini and other famous composers will be on offer on Thursday in Manama as part of the Spring of Culture Festival and in collaboration with the embassy of Italy in the Kingdom.

The gala concert from the Teatro Massimo of Palermo will feature Italian singers Giuseppe Esposito and Maria Francesca Mazzara who will perform famous arias in their timeless beauty and elegance.

The concert, conducted by Alberto Maniaci at the Arts Centre, will start at 8 pm.

Founded in May 1897, the Massimo Theatre is the biggest theatre in Italy and the third in Europe.

The words engraved on the architrave above the entrance are iconic: “Art renews people and reveals their life. Love of art is useless where it does not seek to prepare for the future.”
