In 2020- 2021, Fondazione Bracco will be continuing to sponsor, in collaboration with Accademia alla Scala, a series of lessons on classical music by Maestro Fabio Sartorelli. The new series of talks, which go out in streaming and are aimed at a young audience of enthusiasts and amateurs, consider the origins, evolution and representation of timelessly great female characters in Opera and Ballet.
The lectures are intended to draw a non-specialist audience closer to the world of classical music by celebrating its universal relevance, while also surprising those more familiar with the genre with an original and multifaceted approach.
