SYNOPSIS

VIVA VERDI! is an intimate glimpse into the lives of the celebrated opera singers and musicians currently living out their ‘third act’ while mentoring international music students who live among them at Milan’s unique retirement home, Casa Verdi, built by Giuseppe Verdi in 1896.

WORLD PREMIERE

Woodstock Film Festival, 2024

"This film is a real audience pleaser with an uplifting message that celebrates the joy of life and the musicians who brought so much to so many during their careers and who reside at Casa Verdi, Giuseppe Verdi's retirement home in Milan. Through their stories of romance, tragedy and triumph we are reminded how music moves us, nurtures artistic expression and nourishes the spirit and how this unique retirement home has enriched thousands of artists' lives."
