LONG-04. Viva Verdi!

US, Feature Documentary, 2024, 79 min

In the 1890’s, Guiseppi Verdi used part of his vast fortune to build a grand retirement home in Milan for “old singers not favored by fortune, or who, when they were young, did not possess the virtue of saving.” Today, Casa Verdi has 60 residents aged 77-107, comprised of international opera singers, ballet dancers, musicians, conductors and composers, and its halls and gardens ring with the sound of rehearsals for frequent recitals. In recent years, the Verdi Foundation has rented 16 rooms to gifted young music students, and the daily interaction delightfully bridges the vast generation gap. Viva Verdi! tells the extraordinary stories of those living out their ‘third act’ with music, magic and passion. PARTIALLY SUBTITLED
