Basque singer and actress Miren de Miguel presents a special New Year’s concert, an all-round show with staging, monologues, visual effects and eye-catching costumes. With musical skill, an energetic voice and a touch of humor, De Miguel will perform the arias associated with some of the best-known protagonists of Italian opera, ranging from Cleopatra in the opera Giulio Cesare or Violetta Valery in La Traviata to Carmen or Madame Butterfly. All these female literary characters are as immortal as their personal tragedies.

The Barcelona Symphony Band will be accompanying the soprano, performing instrumental fragments, like "Elsa's procession" from Lohengrin by Wagner or the prelude to the second act of Un ballo in maschera (Masked Ball) by Verdi. 

Performers:

• Barcelona Symphony Band
• Miren de Miguel, soprano
• José R. Pascual-Vilaplana, conductor
