An Evening with Rossini: The Barber of Seville Comes to Belfast
What a memorable evening last night at the Belfast Grand Opera House for The Barber of Seville, presented by Lyric Opera Ireland in partnership with the Grand Opera House, with the wonderful support of the Istituto Italiano di Cultura di Edimburgo!
As Honorary Consular Correspondent, it was a true honour and a pleasure to attend such a remarkable cultural event, together with Federica Ferrieri. A heartfelt thank you to Stefano De Angelis, the newly appointed Director of the Italian Institute of Culture in Edinburgh, whose presence from the very outset of his tenure speaks volumes about his commitment to promoting Italian culture across the region.
And it was truly thrilling to meet Vivian J. Coates, Artistic Director of Lyric Opera Ireland, and his husband at the end of the performance, both wonderful people whose warmth and passion for music are simply infectious.
Evenings like this remind us of the extraordinary power of Italian culture to bring people together and inspire.
