I came last week and all this week I worked with the soloists on the piano, I worked on the interpretation, with the orchestra. "Don Paquale" is not an easy work. She is beautiful, brilliant, nice, funny, and the director Victor Zaharia mobilizes all the artists. After the pandemic it was not an easy moment for artists, we are talking about theater, folk music, philharmonic, symphonic music, chamber music.
