The Sicilian Opera Choir of Italy, winner of the International Opera Awards in 2017, is a reality that has established itself in the music, theatre, opera, and symphonic scene over the past few years.
The particular care of vocality and taste as well as the versatility of the organic components, allow the choir to face both the refined and demanding symphonic and sacred repertoire along with the robust traditional lyric collection.
Made up of choir artists from all over Sicily, the Sicilian Opera Choir performs concerts, shows, and operas with excellent public and critical success and is regularly enrolled in theatres at the national and international level. The intense concert activity is combined with culture making it a powerful work of research, enhancement, and export of Sicilian art which has been undertaken within the country and beyond as well as rediscovery of the most important Sicilian authors with the execution of lesser-known works and unpublished works by P. Mandanici
