The power of the voice - annual kick-off concert at the Stadtstadel

1sup>st of February 2024

The bass-baritone voice of opera singer Diego Villegas was powerful and brilliant in the concert lounge of the Stadtstadel, accompanied by Enzo Weber on the piano. The chosen pieces included a wide range of Italian operas, art songs from German-speaking countries, pieces from well-known musicals and, of course, from his native Colombia. The program was entertainingly accompanied by a variety of interesting facts about the topic: voice, to which Diego Villegas also actively involved the audience. It was a convincing little exercise which taught the listeners about the power of their own voice. Enzo Weber touched the hearts of piano lovers, especially those fans of Schubert, when he delicately presented his interpretation of the work Impromptus in G-flat major.
Diego Villegas studied singing in Bogota, then moved to Vienna and finally completed his master's degree in Bologna. He now lives and works in South Tyrol. Enzo Weber has recently completed his music studies at the conservatory in Bolzano.
It was a wonderful beginning into the 2024 event year at the Stadtstadel.
