A true display of vocal art based on the most complex arias of the genius composer.

«Questo è luogo di lagrime! Badate!»
Giacomo Puccini (Tosca)

Roberto Alagna, a French tenor of Italian origin and a living legend on stages around the world, returns to the Gran Teatre del Liceu with a historic recital that will once again captivate our audience with an unusual program entirely dedicated to Puccini’s music. A true display of vocal artistry based on the most complex arias of the genius composer. Alagna, who has been globally recognized for his vocal talent and ability to passionately perform the great opera roles, is a deep admirer of the works of the composer from Lucca, whose melodies have left an indelible mark on the operatic repertoire.

The recital in tribute to Puccini aims to capture the essence of his music, but also highlight Alagna’s great versatility, as he is capable of performing both the most demanding and the most subtle roles: from the passionate aria “Nessun Dorma” from Turandot to the most moving arias from Madama Butterfly, Tosca, and La bohème, including his early operas Le Villi and Edgar, to demonstrate the deep emotional connection he has with the music he performs.

With his firm voice and charisma, Alagna will break down ten arias from an extremely challenging program to perform, each with very different vocal requirements, demanding technique, breath control, nerve management, concentration, and a privileged instrument.
