Engl - Belcanto Festival from 16 to 26 september 2009, Rome
16-26 Sept 2009. This is the second edition of the Academy of S. Cecilia's end-of-summer festival dedicated to Belcanto - "the beautiful singing voice and smooth vocal style associated with 18th and early 19th century professional singers and designed to show off the singer's voice". The programme is dedicated to the triumvirate of early 19th century Italian melodrama: Bellini, Donizetti and Rossini. Events to look out for include a recital by bass Michele Pertusi featuring Rossini's arias for bass (18 Sept) and a concert performance of his masterpiece The Journey to Rheims conducted by Kent Nagano (21, 23 Sept). However, the varied programme also features a concert by the Carabinieri Band with the Accademia di S. Cecilia Choir (20 Sept), and an evening of jazz improvisation by pianist Danilo Rea of famous operatic melodies (16 Sept).
