NINO ROTA - and a lot of Italian fun!
In Spring 2021 – when daily live stopped for Lockdowns and all public performances too – the Opera of Graz had prepared two fresh stage productions which could'nt take place anymore. One of them was Weinberg's 'Passagierin' (already release at Capriccio Label / C5455) and the second one this really funny, entertaining Opera 'The Florentine Straw Hat' by famous film composer Nino Rota. Happily no one of the artists got infected these days, so we could finish in time and could use the empty Opera House as a fantastic recording studio.
