Celebrating Rossini’s 150th

The Embassy of Italy in Kuala Lumpur and the Rossini Opera Festival of Pesaro collaborated with local institutions to celebrate the composer’s--Gioachino Rossini--birthday. Chi Hoe educates us on Rossini and on the process of collaborating with two visiting artists from a Rossini academy in Italy. He shares on performing Rossini’s music and tells a little about the stories of the four operas performed at the concert.
