The centenary of the death of one of the greatest opera masters of all time, Giacomo Puccini, is also marked in the Saturday at Lisinski concert series. Instrumentalists from the orchestra of the world's most famous opera house, where Puccini himself saw the premieres of many of his masterpieces, are coming to Zagreb to mark it with a concert. I Virtuosi del Teatro Alla Scala are much more than a chamber ensemble made up of members of the Philharmonic and Opera Orchestras of Milan’s Teatro alla Scala. It is a concentrate of the best musicians, a combination of orchestral soloists and section leaders with many years of experience working at concerts and opera productions with the world's best conductors. They spread the beauty of instrumental music and Italian virtuosity around the world; they bring an atypical, non‑opera, different Puccini in their performance of his instrumental pieces and solo songs. They orchestrated their piano part themselves. Lisinski Hall brings them exclusively together with the currently most sought‑after Croatian opera artist on Italian opera stages, soprano Darija Auguštan. They have had similar collaborations with opera divas such as Renata Tebaldi and Barbara Frittoli and they regularly record for major labels, so this concert will surely be the beginning of a beautiful friendship.
