As Aida approaches, opera audiences in Gozo needed not wait the cast list to be announced to quickly fill up the islands’ largest opera venue. Gozo’s 1600-seat Aurora had announced, a few weeks ago, that it is marking the return of opera after COVID-19 pandemic with a unique production signed by none other than the legendary Franco Zeffirelli
As if 5 superstar acts weren't enough, Leone Goes Pop's delighted to present a warm-up act by XARULÚ! Yes! That’s how far this production is going to create the most rapturous atmosphere for its public, which we now know is close to rounding up a thousand heads.
