Bel canto
- Sat, Oct 17
- CaixaForum Palma
What is bel canto? In this session we talk and listen to melody — set against Beethoven’s Piano Concerto No. 3. We discuss Maria Callas and her technical contribution to singing. We ask whether what Callas does has an instrumental precedent. Answering that, we pass through Pau Casals and continue with performers such as Victoria de los Ángeles or Alicia de Larrocha, who aim for interpretive perfection while respecting the score as closely as possible. Pedro Pardo , pianist and music educator Albert Galceran, journalist and music educator This session is part of the cycle Divertimento, music explained. More than a lecture, more than a concert, more than a screening: a rigorous, enjoyable educational experience for every music lover — lifelong fans and those who want to discover the fascinating world of classical music. Expect a full evening on Mallorca’s live circuit: arrive a little early, check door times on the ticket, and give yourself room to settle in before the first notes.
