Presented by Australian Brandenburg Orchestra

Italian Serenatas

Four cities. One voice. Endless drama.

Step into the world of high style and high emotion as Italian baritone Renato Dolcini returns to the Brandenburg stage for a journey through the heart of Baroque Italy.

In this concert, music and drama converge as we travel through Naples, Rome, Venice, and Florence. Each city reveals a different facet of Italian artistry. From the fiery passion of Neapolitan song to the grandeur of Roman cantatas, the sensual elegance of Venetian opera, and the courtly charm of Florence, this is a celebration of Italian Baroque music in all its forms.

Renato Dolcini's charismatic presence and expressive voice take centre stage in a program that blurs the line between concert and opera, past and present. With a flair for storytelling and a voice shaped for Baroque drama, Dolcini captures the spirit of a golden age  bold, stylish, and unforgettable.

Expect a vibrant musical experience that captures the spirit of this lavish era. This is an Italian serenade of the most opulent and expressive kind, brimming with charisma and colour.
