Music and words: a marriage that has given birth to one of the world’s most cherished forms of artistic expression – lyric opera.

Music is literature of the heart, it is stenography of the emotions, say poets. Music and literature have come together since the beginning of our tradition: from classical poems to medieval ballads to the grand opera season, Italy has been the cradle of the world’s music culture.

Francesca Dego is one of the most acclaimed violinists on the international scene. Raised among books and music, daughter of the writer and poet Giuliano Dego and herself the author of the book “Tra le note. Classical: 24 keys to interpretation” (Mondadori 2019), she is the ideal cast to provide the musical frame during the handover ceremony.
