A new frontier, an opportunity to connect Naples to the technology innovation center of the world, to foster cultural and economic exchanges, to foster the growth of bilateral ties which can create new entrepreneurship on both sides of the Oceans, to encourage art, startups, and research and development both in Naples and the Silicon Valley, of which San Francisco is undeniably the leading reality.
What better Ambassador than the Teatro di San Carlo to represent the most exquisite essence of Naple’s culture, costumes and traditions?
Even more in light of the fact that both opera houses–Naples and San Francisco-are now sharing the same Musical Director, Maestro Nicola Luisotti.
A grand concert in October 2013 to be held in San Francisco, with the artists of Teatro di San Carlo and San Francisco Opera in the 200th Anniversary of Giuseppe Verd’s Birth and in the Year of the Italian culture in the USA.
But funds are an issue. An institution of the size and the complexity of the Teatro di San Carlo can’t travel light, expense are high: musicians, instruments, supporting staff and students etc etc. need to travel in the safest and speediest way. This in this times and days comes at a great cost, limited fundraising doesn’t cut it anymore. It is for this reason that we’re now resorting to the Internet (Facebook) to invite all of whom love opera, Naples and admire our Gulf; all Neapolitan and Neapolitanophiles living at home and abroad to support the San Carlo Mission to the Bay Area. For a great Concert to Unite the Two Bays, a new educational programme to open new frontiers for Neapolitan ingenuity, to promote our city and our culture, for a world renowned concert of the Teatro San Carlo to be held in October in San Francisco and announced on the occasion the visit of Naples’ mayor to the San Francisco Bay Area in June, to go From the Vesuvio to the Silicon Valley.
