Crescendo with Giacomo Folinazzo

A breathtaking musical experience that dissolves boundaries, Crescendo merges the soaring elegance of Italian opera with the fire of pop and rock, all infused with the heart and soul of timeless Neapolitan and Sicilian traditions, reborn with a vibrant contemporary pulse.

Created and led by rising Italian - Canadian tenor Giacomo Folinazzo, this genre-blending production weaves powerhouse vocals, lush orchestration, and emotionally charged storytelling into a spellbinding journey. The repertoire spans iconic works made famous by Luciano Pavarotti, Il Volo, Andrea Bocelli, Claudio Baglioni and similar artists, beloved orera arias and duets, treasured Southern Italian classics, and modern pop favourites reimagined with unmistakably passionate Italian flair.

A full band, string ensemble, piano, and an extraordinary lineup of guest performers, create a rich, cinematic soundscape; inclusive of stunning visuals, that honours tradition while boldly reimagining it for today's stage.

With a perfect blend of humour, passion, intimacy, and artistic brilliance, Crescendo is more than a concert, it is an emotional voyage. Audiences will find themselves dreaming, reminiscing, and rediscovering the music that shaped generations, all while being swept up in a fresh, exhilarating celebration of Italian musical heritage.

A performance for all ages, all backgrounds, and anyone who believes that music has the power to move the heart.
