Virtuoso Italy – a special concert with Alexander Boldachev.
On April 9, we invite you to an extraordinary evening featuring acclaimed guest artist Alexander Boldachev.
Boldachev is one of the most celebrated harpists of our time — a composer, producer, and performer whom European press has called the musician who redefined the role of the harp in the 21st century. He has performed in over 50 countries on stages including Carnegie Hall, the Musikverein, and the Elbphilharmonie, collaborated with leading international brands, and appeared at the opening ceremony of the FIFA World Cup.
This is his only evening in Riga.
The first half of the concert features a virtuosic solo programme for harp: works by Vivaldi, Paganini, and Rossini. In the second half, Boldachev is joined by Yulia Vasilieva, a leading soprano of the Latvian National Opera. Together they perform beloved Italian arias and songs — from Verdi and Puccini to contemporary favourites.
Italian music, a virtuoso harp, and an operatic voice — a rare combination, available in Riga for one night only.
Musicians are located in the stalls, near the altar
Concert duration: approx. 1 hour 20 minutes
