An event that blends the elegance of opera with the passion and warmth of Neapolitan songs, two apparently distant but extraordinarily complementary musical worlds. “O Sole Mio: Neapolitan Songs and Great Opera Arias” is a concert that celebrates the timeless beauty of Italian music, performed by an extraordinarily talented couple of singers formed by a soprano and a baritone, accompanied by a piano that expresses all the passion and melody of the most famous compositions.
The harmony of the performers will accompany you in a musical dialogue that ranges from the unforgettable classical arias taken from the masterpieces of Rossini, Verdi and other masters of the Italian opera tradition to the most exuberant popular songs of the Neapolitan tradition, creating an experience that tells stories of passion, joy and poignant nostalgia.
The performances of the voices will be accompanied by the enveloping and sonorous melody of the piano which will guide the audience on a journey full of sounds through the refined opera rooms and the lively streets of Naples - celebrating the beauty of music in all its forms.
During the summer, depending on the climate, the show might be held in the external cloister of the Church of Santa Felicita. *

Church of Saint Felicity
Santa Felicita (Church of St Felicity) is a Roman Catholic church in Florence, region of Tuscany, Italy, probably the oldest in the city after San Lorenzo. In the 2nd century, Syrian Greek merchants settled in the area south of the Arno and are thought to have brought Christianity to the region. The first church on the site was probably built in the late 4th century or early 5th century and was dedicated to Saint Felicity of Rome. A new church was built in the 11th century and the current church largely dates from 1736–1739, under design by Ferdinando Ruggieri, who turned it into a one nave edifice. The monastery was suppressed under the Napoleonic occupation of 1808–1810.
