Verdi's Opera Gala – Emirates Palace Mandarin Oriental, Abu Dhabi Island and Internal Islands City

About this event

Verdi's Opera Gala is presented as a UAE premiere in honour of the 125th anniversary of Giuseppe Verdi's passing. The format is a concert gala rather than a fully staged production: the Qatar Philharmonic Orchestra performs under conductor David Crescenzi, with soprano Maria Agresta and tenor Giorgio Berrugi as the featured vocal artists. The programme combines orchestral sinfonias and overtures with arias, vocal sequences, and duets drawn from Verdi’s operas, presented as a sequence of excerpts rather than a complete opera. No director, staging team, or chorus is identified, and the sources do not specify performance language or subtitle provision.
