Alessandro Safina Brings Opera to Russian Cities with Opera Rock Program

Italian opera singer Alessandro Safina is set to tour several Russian cities starting March 7, delivering performances that blend classic arias with a fresh, modern sensibility. In Moscow audiences will hear selections from operas such as Eugene Onegin and La Bohème, performed in a program crafted to bring the grandeur of opera to a broader public. The aim is not just to showcase vocal technique but to revive the art form by weaving elements of pop music into traditional academia, creating what Safina and her team describe as an early form of opera rock — a meeting point for opera, soul, and contemporary melodies that resonates with today’s listeners. The artist’s team emphasizes that this approach seeks to demystify opera and make it more accessible to people who might not routinely attend classical performances.
