Sala dei Fiumi comes back to life for the last time with The Concert of Apollo. Voice and instruments meet in the variegated program proposed by the musicians, in which love returns as the red thread of the program, between its joys and its torments, and the tale of Orpheus, which has inspired countless musicians from the 16th century to today. A musical and poetic journey to immerse yourself in, admiring the frescoes of Palazzo Ducale.
