This concert will be as fresh and lively as the overture to Mozart’s opera entitled “The Marriage of Figaro”. The performance by Zuglo Philharmonics Budapest presents precious musical pieces selecting from among symphonic compositions and the repertoire of musical theatres.

The concert will be special as Puccini’s “Capriccio Sinfonico” (1883), composed as an examination piece during his studies at the Milan Conservatoire will also be staged. This piece already features melodies used in Edgar’s later works (Edgar, La Bohème).
