What stays with you most after a project is the people you share it with.
Profoundly grateful for the generous words of the musicians and colleagues who made this year’s Opera Naples Festival ‘Under the Stars’ such a meaningful experience.
A festival like this is truly shaped by collaboration at every level, from the artists and musicians on stage, to the team behind it, to the audience who ultimately gives meaning to what we do.
Creating these enriching experiences together, and bringing great opera to the community in a way that feels alive and inviting, is deeply rewarding.
Grateful for the artistry, the collaboration, and the people who brought these moments to life.

Lo que más permanece después de un proyecto son las personas con quienes lo compartes.
Profundamente agradecido por las generosas palabras de los músicos y colegas que hicieron de esta edición del Opera Naples Festival ‘Under the Stars’ una experiencia tan significativa.
Un festival como este se construye desde la colaboración en todos los niveles, desde los artistas y músicos en escena, hasta el equipo que lo hace posible y el público que finalmente da sentido a lo que hacemos.
Crear estas experiencias juntos y acercar la gran ópera a la comunidad de una manera viva y acogedora es profundamente enriquecedor.
Agradecido por el arte, la colaboración y las personas que dieron vida a estos momentos.
