Concert 15 October 2019
Premiere
Concert “Opera Soul”
“Albanian Romances 1”
NTOB is committed to return some of the Albanian authors to the spotlight. Romances, a fresh genre that brought a melody to the public just like a “Light Music Festival”. Many of them are works created for the May decades and have not been able to be interpreted by artists over the years. They may have been prejudiced, but they remain highly artistic creations. This is the reason why we are gradually presenting the 100 romances found in the NTOBFE music archives to the public, in a cycle called “Albanian Romances”. Time after time they will be performed by NTOBFE soloists.
