The Lugano Opera Choir, featuring soloists from the choir and international guests, accompanied by the Opera ViVa Orchestra and conducted by Maestro Andrea Cupia, invites you to a concert to be held on October 26 at LAC Lugano. The concert has two objectives: to promote peace and to support the Associazione Amici di Dominique Lapierre Ticino.
'Nella guerra è la follia’ (In war it’s foolery) is the title of a piece from the opera “La forza del destino” (The Force of Destiny), performed alongside other choral compositions by Handel, Verdi, Wagner, Humperdinck, Smetana and Puccini. The programme aims to highlight the importance of peace and to honour personalities who have dedicated their lives and energy to dissolving conflicts and seeking justice. Among these, we emphasize the example of Dominique Lapierre, a French journalist, writer, philanthropist, who dedicated his life and work to promoting peace and humanitarian aid.
Our desire for peace shares the dream of the Associazione degli Amici di Dominique Lapierre Ticino, a dream that will not be expressed through grand speeches or emphatic promises, but through music and its delicate, passionate, evocative or simple atmospheres, by means of its emotionally charged contents, that go straight from the ears to the heart and smooth out even the artistic and ideological conflicts surrounding divisive figures such as Richard Wagner's.
The music chosen will be the best messenger of the hope for peace that we all share.
Prices
From CHF 40.– to CHF 60.– (with a surcharge for those who wish to support the Association)
