Tuesday October 8th, 7:00pm. The Italian Cultural Foundation at Casa Belvedere, 79 Howard Avenue, Staten Island, NY 10301. A DVD Presentation by Opera and Music Educator, Lou Barrella. CLICK HERE TO REGISTER.

Everyone knows about Pavarotti as a great singer and charismatic personality: he embodied the Italian spirit of embracing life. This program is not just for the “Opera Lovers" but for all of us to celebrate and share our Italian heritage and spirit. Come and join Lou Barrella to support our mission at Casa Belvedere!

Created in 2008 right after his passing, this program will celebrate the artistry and vocal pleasure given to us by this unique singer and great 20th Century tenor. The enormous volume of recordings and video allow us to enjoy his voice and charismatic persona forever. Musical excerpts will highlight important moments in his personal life and career as well as pair him with a number of his many singing partners. Pavarotti’s zest for life will be evidenced by moments from personal interviews, documentaries, broadcast operas and concerts; and from trips to China, Naples and many other locations. “Bravo Luciano!”

Q & A, Refreshments and a light reception will follow. PROGRAM DONATION: $15 Member • $20 Non-Member (cash, check or credit cards accepted). Additional Parking is located directly across the street at Notre Dame Academy Elementary School
