ABOUT THE CONCERT

Czech baritone Jiří Rajniš is making his mark on prestigious international stages, including the first-ever performance of Rusalka at La Scala. His recital offers an unexpected pairing of songs by Korngold and Mahler. The second half of the programme shifts to a lighter tone with his favorite Neapolitan songs.
