This impressive composition is conducted by Michael Balke, a conductor acclaimed in the most important international theaters. On stage, the voices of Deniz Leone, Laura Claycomb and Gustavo Castillo dialogue, accompanied by the Chorus of the Teatro dell'Opera di Salerno, the Chorus of Children's Voices of the Teatro “Giuseppe Verdi” of Salerno and the Philharmonic Orchestra “Giuseppe Verdi” of Salerno.
