About 10,000 contacts from all over the world (about double last year’s count) watched the transmission through video streaming of the first performance of Il viaggio a Reims, staged this morning before a packed audience in the Teatro Rossini, featuring young singers from the 2016 Accademia Rossiniana conducted by the Rumanian Maestro Gabriel Bebeselea.
The first nights of the three operas La donna del lago, Il Turco in Italia and Ciro in Babilonia also reached a wide international audience with direct radio broadcasts over three continents (Europe, America and Oceania) involving 15 different countries.
