Fantasies from Verdi’s Operas is a musical miscellany from Verdi’s operas composed by the composer’s friends and colleagues that have lain forgotten in libraries across the world since the 19th Century.

The concert at MIT is the first date of the Chamber Orchestra’s U.S. tour, which will also include performances in Providence (Brown University),Washington (Library of Congress), New York (Carnegie Hall), and Miami.
This U.S. concert series is part of 2013 – Year of Italian Culture in the United States, an initiative held under the auspices of the President of the Italian Republic, organised by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Italian Embassy in Washington, D.C., with the support of Eni, a Corporate Ambassador.
