2016 is the year of Shakespeare. Why? Because this year marks exactly 400 years since his death. On this occasion, many Slovenian cultural institutions are preparing events that will honor this important anniversary, and among them are SNG Opera and Ballet Ljubljana and Cankarjev dom. In the latter, on January 21, the premiere of Verdi's famous opera Otello will take place, which will be performed by the soloists, choir and orchestra of SNG Opera and Ballet Ljubljana.
Verdi
The masterpiece of the great Giuseppe Verdi and one of the most moving opera stories about the forbidden but irresistible love between a victorious Egyptian commander and the enslaved Ethiopian princess Aida will be re-enacted.
Verdi's last opera, based on one of Shakespeare's most famous comic characters, is coming to the big screen. City Magazine and Cineplexx cinemas are giving away 2 tickets to see the opera Falstaff.
