Alessandro Bonato, conductor
Francesca Dego, violin
Rossini: Overture to La gazza ladra
Beethoven: Violin Concerto in D major, Op. 61
Rossini/Respighi: La Boutique Fantasque
Alessandro Bonato, one of the most sought-after Italian conductors of the younger generation, 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 Enchanted Toyshop), in which Respighi re-imagines Rossini’s music into a vivid theatrical tapestry of elegance and mischief.
