A Bridge of Music is an international cultural project conceived by Superintendent Claudio Orazi in 2016 with the aim of enhancing music as a driver of cultural diplomacy between Italy and the United States. 2025 will mark the bicentenary of the performance of the first Italian opera in the United States (Il barbiere di Siviglia, November 1825). In view of the celebrations for this significant date and after the success of the dedicated programme in 2023, the Opera Carlo Felice proposes a 2024 tour that opens in Genoa with the concert on 25 September conducted by Davide Massiglia, to continue across an ideal bridge to New York, where Donato Renzetti – director emeritus of the Theatre -, the Opera Carlo Felice Orchestra and Giuseppe Gibboni are the protagonists of the concert on a double date (Tuesday 8 and Wednesday 9 October) – dedicated to Lorenzo Da Ponte and Niccolò Paganini.
