"DuetOpera" – a piano duo from Italy consisting of Nico Fuscaldo and Filippo Garruba, presenting an exceptional concert with a special focus on the most famous excerpts from operas. The concert program will feature transcriptions and arrangements of arias, duets, overtures, and operatic themes prepared specifically for this ensemble, highlighting the dialogue between the two pianists.

This is a lively, dramaturgically compelling musical narrative in which characters, emotions, and contrasts intertwine. The piano, played four-hands, produces a rich variety of timbres and dynamics, bringing the listener closer to the atmosphere of an opera house while preserving the intimacy of chamber music.
