Opera & Jazz

On 22 May, we will see a kind of "duel" of two such seemingly different genres – opera and jazz.

On the one hand, the audience will be hypnotized by the opera diva’s beautiful voice, on the other – they will hear virtuoso instrumental compositions. Thus, such different genres will intertwine in the concert: opera, which doesn’t go beyond the academic boundaries as a rule, and jazz, which is a free genre without boundaries.
