Alessandro Bonato makes his India debut with the SOI. The concert opens with the overture to La gazza ladra, a sparkling, high-spirited showpiece. Italian violinist Francesca Dego, particularly admired for her interpretations of Beethoven, joins the orchestra for his Violin Concerto—a brilliant showcase of technical prowess and virtuosity. The evening concludes with La Boutique fantasque (The MagicToyshop), in which Respighi re-imagines Rossini’s music into a vivid theatrical tapestry of elegance and mischief.
 
Box office on 23rd June for Friends of the SOI, 26th June for NCPA members and 29th June for public.
