Legendary conductor Riccardo Muti, famed for leading the Vienna Philharmonic New Year’s Concert six times 🌟, is nurturing the next generation of musical talent in China! His Riccardo Muti Italian Opera Academy-China 2024 recently wrapped up an intense 10-day training program in Suzhou, blending Italian opera tradition with China’s vibrant arts scene.
From Global Search to Suzhou Stage
After six months of global auditions 🎻, 15 conductors and seven singers were chosen from a pool of rising stars. The finalists honed their craft under Muti’s guidance, culminating in a dazzling graduation concert that harmonized East-West cultural ties.
Why Suzhou?
Known as China’s 'Venice of the East,' Suzhou provided a picturesque backdrop 🏯 for this cross-cultural symphony. The program, co-produced by Suzhou Broadcasting Station Group, highlights China’s growing role as a global hub for classical music innovation.
