La Fenice at Expo2025 Osaka
La Fenice will be the lead player in an important international trip, by bringing the charisma of Italian bel canto to Japan. The appointment is set for 22 April in the ‘Festival Hall’ concert hall in Osaka, where the Chorus will perform a programme celebrating Italian musical excellence.
«It will be an honour to participate in the Osaka Expo with our choir, a symbol of Venetian musical art,’ explained Superintendent Colabianchi. “A significant moment will see the union of our choir with a Japanese choir to perform together the famous Va’ Pensiero, a symbol of cultural collaboration, followed by the Japanese song Sakura Sakura. In addition, a musical selection from La Traviata will be performed, interpreted by Italian singers, who will contribute to creating a synthesis of Italian music, uniting the traditions of Venice and Japan in a moment of great symbolic and cultural value».
