Roberto

Alagna

Sponsor of the 19th edition

On the international opera scene for over 30 years, he has over 60 roles in his repertoire, and successfully makes regular forays into song. Genuinely popular and loved by a wide audience, seduced by all aspects of singing and insatiably passionate about the voice, constantly exploring new artistic territories, the artist leads an unprecedented career.

“I’m delighted to be patron of the 19th edition of UNESCO’s Week of Sound.
At a time when access to recorded music has never been so widespread, I think it’s important to rediscover the path to theaters to “recharge our ears”.

Take a young child who has never attended a performance, never heard an instrument or a voice in real life.
He won’t pay much attention to it when he hears it on TV or radio.
This same child finds himself next to a pianist or singer: he’ll be captivated by the sound, the truth of the sound, the vibration!

We should be able to give children the chance to listen to live music, because it develops their passions, their desire to pick up an instrument and play it.
When you have passion, you overcome all life’s obstacles and you want to surpass yourself.

That’s why we need live entertainment. “
