TRAINING THROUGH PERFORMANCE - LET YOUR VOICE BE HEARD IN ROME!!
Experience the operatic journey of a lifetime in a new concept of Handel’s Giulio Cesare, with an all female cast in an extraordinary “FILM VERSION” in the gorgeous Piazza Euclide Church, featuring the acclaimed Chamber Orchestra of Rome. The opera will be directed and conceived by festival founder, Andrea DelGiudice and the renowned stage director, Yuri Napoli. The production is presented by the New Voice Festival, and conducted by Maestro Jason Tramm. The concept is a reimaging of the characters with strong female identities, emphasizing their motivations and relationships by highlighting themes of power, betrayal, and ambition through female perspectives. Let’s create a lasting legacy together!!
We invite singers to study and perform with an internationally star - studded faculty, European Industry Experts, hosted in some of the Eternal City’s most historic and inspiring sacred spaces. Do not miss this unique and stunning festival while immersing yourself in Roman culture, while bringing Handel’s music to life in the city that first inspired it.
