During the 1979 revival of one of the most memorable recent productions at La Scala, Verdi’s Macbeth directed by Strehler and conducted by Claudio Abbado, a powerful bass with an impressive stage presence and an exquisite diction made his debut in the role of Banco.

Ferruccio Furlanetto, a learned man – classical philology and natural sciences – was starting his brilliant career at La Scala, which still today brings him to theatres all over the world to represent first-rate Italian singing.

After Macbeth, Furlanetto has been an excellent Mozartain - Don Giovanni and Leporello, Guglielmo and Don Alfonso, Figaro and Almaviva -, a perfect Rossinian and a great Verdinian, but also a talented performer of the Russian repertoire (Gremin, Boris).

Much-liked in Italy and in Germany, in London as in Salzburg, Furlanetto has chosen to put to the fore his extraordinary synergy with the Russian language and music for this recital. He will perform nine pieces by Rachmaninov in the first part and nine works by Mussorgsky in the second one.
