The 27 January 2017, as part of the celebrations for the Holocaust Memorial Day, Teatro San Carlo of Naples will dedicate a special concert to the witnesses and to the victims of the Shoa. A Concert of Memory will also take place at the Diana Theater.
An evening not to forget the greatest tragedy of the twentieth century and during which the Orchestra of the Teatro San Carlo will perform some songs that will be the background to this sad historical event.
Furthermore, there will be a projection of the documentary by Resnais Nuit et brouillard (Night and fog 1955), with live performance of the soundtrack by Hanns Eisler and recitation of the text by Jean Cayrol with the voice of Giulia Vecchio.
