Sacred Italy from Vivaldi to Puccini

Italy’s sun-kissed warmth is reflected in the vocal beauty of its music, celebrated for its natural lyricism and elegance. This Chœur Métropolitain concert highlights a tradition where the voice plays a central, deeply human role. Puccini’s “Messa di Gloria” reveals the melodic richness and expressive power that would define his fame. The program also features two pillars of Italy’s choral heritage: Monteverdi and Vivaldi, Venetian composers whose sacred music continues to shine across the centuries.
