Many people attended the extraordinary evening that saw two voices of international opera, soprano Serena Farnoccia and young Turkish tenor Bülent Bezdüz, perform under the banner of great composers and musicians such as Donizetti, Verdi and Puccini.

The artists treated the audience to a journey through the great Italian opera season between the 1800s and early 1900s, presenting its most beautiful arias amid suave love poems and poignant reflections on one's destiny. But also two classic Neapolitan songs such as "Dicitencello vuie" and "I' te vurria vasà."
