TWO GREAT EVENTS AT THE TEATRO DEL GIGLIO FOR NEW YEAR’S EVE AND FOR NEW YEAR’S DAY. NEW YEAR’S EVE CONCERT AND DINNER WITH "PUCCINI AND HIS LUCCA FESTIVAL"

Teatro Del Giglio Lucca is hosting a spectacular double bill to celebrate 2016: Thursday, 31st December (from 9.30 pm, the third consecutive year) and Friday 1st January (from 4 pm), the ‘Puccini and his Lucca Festival’ will present two memorable concerts with dinner buffet and a corollary of events.

The artistic director for the two days, sponsored by Teatro Del Giglio, the city of Lucca, ‘Puccini and his Lucca Festival Orchestra’ and THE Lucca Philharmonic orchestra, is the president and director of ‘Puccini and his Lucca’, Andrea Colombini.

On December 31st the theatre opens at 9 pm for ticket sales and the evening will begin with a screening of the video of the Philharmonic Orchestra of Lucca concert at the Musikverein in Vienna, on 19th December.

At 10.15 pm there’s a Grand Gala of voices with melodies from opera, theatre and musicals. For the occasion, music by Puccini, Catalani, Verdi, Bizet, Mozart, Morricone, Bernstein and Lloyd Webber will be performed. Singers of this first part of the evening will be the internationally renowned soprano Silvia Pacini, Silvana Froli, Paola Grandicelli and Clara Polito, together with mezzo soprano Isabella Messina and tenor Michael Alfonsi, with Diego Fiorini piano.

From 11.30 pm, the most anticipated event: the concert “The Three Tenors”, a repeat of the performance that “Puccini and his Lucca Festival” gave on December 19, 2015 (for the third year running) at the Musikverein in Vienna, the famous Golden Hall of the New Year’s concert. The tenors are Nicola Mugnaini, Simone Frediani and Mattia Nebbiai, accompanied by the Philharmonic Orchestra of Lucca conducted by Andrea Colombini. The program includes music by Puccini, Verdi, Leoncavallo and Di Capua, as well as waltzes and marches of the Strauss family. During the concert there will also be surprise events.

The dinner, prepared by Ristorante Puccini in Lucca, will begin at 9.30 pm, to coincide with the first concert.

The entrance will be reduced for all residents in Lucca and Province (in addition to Giglio subscribers, over 65’s and under 30’s).
