Mozart Revolution - La Carroza del Real

Mozart Revolution

Attending a performance or a concert is always a reason for joy, and even more so if it is with one of the greatest composers in history: Mozart! Cheerful, optimistic, cheeky, surprising, refreshing... Such is the music of this genius and so are his characters. But the women who populate his operas - girls and ladies, young or mature - are a little tired of the role they have to play. They will share with us their beautiful arias and duets, but also their dreams and longings; all accompanied by young soloists from the Crescendo program of the Friends of the Royal Theater Foundation, who will delight us with their performance... and invite us to sing with them.
