Scratchconcert - Le Villi

---

Le Villi is Puccini's first opera and premiered in 1884. The legend of the "Villi" (vengeance witches) tells the story of Roberto who abandons his fiancée Anna. Anna commits suicide out of grief. When Roberto returns, Guglielmo (Anna's father) asks de Villi to take revenge on Roberto. The Villi force Roberto to dance until he literally drops dead. A short opera of 70 minutes with beautiful choirs and arias. Despite a youthful work, this is already Puccini through and through.

Led by conductor Rick Schoonbeek, pianist Andrea Vasi and singing teacher Anne-Marie Spin, this festival over 140 enthusiastic amateur singers will rehearse and perform the concert performance of Puccini's short opera Le Villi within two days. During the concert, three professional soloists will join the choir to sing the solos: Zinzi Frohwein (role of Anna), Denzil Delaere (Roberto) and Marc Pantus (Guglielmo). The orchestra consists of both professional  and non-professional musicians.

Zinzi Frohwein, soprano
Denzil Delaere, tenor
Marc Pantus, bas-bariton
Andrea Vasi, piano
Rick Schoonbeek, conductor
