The program chosen for this intense afternoon of music is dedicated to the most beautiful arias from the operas of Giacomo Puccini, Giuseppe Verdi, Umberto Giordano, Pietro Mascagni and Gioachino Rossini, interpreted by Francesca Maionchi, a young lyric soprano from Lucca who has won numerous awards and made her debut in important national and international stages - among others, we remember the Verona Arena in 2022 and 2023 - demonstrating extraordinary mastery in the interpretation of the main roles of the opera;

Maionchi also took part in a tour of Denmark, Norway, Sweden and Finland alongside Andrea Bocelli.
