She, a Ukrainian soprano with light and unrivaled notes, he, a Sardinian tenor with a warm and vigorous voice: Nikoletta Hertsak and Mauro Secci will be the protagonists of the second event of the “ Nessun dorma ” festival on Saturday at 8 pm at the Teatro Civico in Sassari .
The Ars Aurelia opera gala will feature the two artists performing the most beloved arias and duets that have shaped the history of opera, accompanied on the piano by Maestro Marco Schirru . From Verdi to Puccini, from Donizetti to Bizet and Bellini, the repertoire will range from Rigoletto, La Traviata, Carmen, Luisa Miller, La Bohème, La Sonnambula, Lucia di Lammermoor, and Tosca.
"Our goal is to bring people closer to the theater, to make them love music, by allowing the Sassari audience to discover the most beautiful works and the most appreciated performers," said artistic director Irene Dore . "Although she is very young, Nikoletta Hertsak is a rising international star and one of the most expressive figures of her generation. Fresh from a resounding success at the Teatro Petruzzelli in Bari, she will certainly captivate the Sassari audience with timeless operas that perfectly complement her fresh voice, pairing perfectly with the voice of our tenor Mauro Secci, who has already won acclaim at Italy's leading theaters in leading roles from the Verdi and Puccini repertoires. This is a Sardinian pride that confirms the island's position as a breeding ground for world-class tenor voices.
