Masterful architecture, a variety of textures and atmospheres, powerful dual choirs, spectacular instruments, sensually beautiful melodic lines… everything works together to make hearing the Vespro della Beata Vergine, which Monteverdi published in 1610, a supreme artistic experience. For its 50th anniversary, the SMAM is returning to this masterpiece, which has lost none of its youthfulness and vitality… and which, over the years, the Studio has upheld so magnificently.
Claudio Monteverdi (1567-1643)
