TIRANA, February 2 – February brings art and love to the National Theatre of Opera, Ballet and Folk Ensemble

The artistic calendar of the National Theatre of Opera, Ballet and Folk Ensemble in February focuses on the theme of love and includes operas, concerts, educational activities and premieres.

The programme opens with Gaetano Donizetti’s opera “L’Elisir d’Amore (The Elixir of Love)”, which returns to the stage in a new production after a 14-year absence. The theatre schedules four performances with Albanian and international soloists.

Later, the calendar continues with the chamber music concert “LUM (Light)”, featuring vocalist Hersi Matmuja and cellist Jacopo Conoci.

At the same time, the institution places emphasis on training young artists. On 16 and 17 February, it organises a vocal masterclass led by baritones Gëzim Myshketa and Davide Luciano.

Meanwhile, the symphonic concert “Brezi i Lirisë (Generation of Freedom)” brings the Amadeus Youth Orchestra to the stage, highlighting the energy of the younger generation.

On 19 and 20 February, a vocal-symphonic concert with music from Disney animated films addresses both children and adults under the direction of Diego Bassi.

At the end of the month, the theatre presents “L’Elisir d’Amore (The Elixir of Love)” in a version for children and families. The February programme closes with the ethnomusical premiere “Rrugëtim në Arbëri (Journey in Arbëria)” by the Folk Ensemble, which explores cultural roots and identity.
