The American Academy in Rome hosts one day of the 50th/51st annual Festa d’Autunno organized by Nuova Consonanza. Among the highlights in the program to be presented at Villa Aurelia are the premieres of two operas. The first is L’aggiustafavole for soprano, tenor, baritone and chamber orchestra, composed by Paolo Marchettini based on an original text by Elio Pecora.

The director is Sandra Del Maro. Both operas will feature the young singers Damiana Mizzi, soprano, Gianluca Bocchino, tenor and the Gruppo Musica d’Oggi, directed by Enrico Marocchini.
