The famous Italian tenor Fabio Andreotti will perform at the Aptekarsky Ogorod on December 15 and 16.
On December 15 and 16, on the eve of the opening of the IX festival of orchids, carnivorous plants and desert plants "Tropical Winter" and in continuation of the tour of artists of the world's most famous opera houses in the Botanical Garden of Moscow State University "Aptekarsky Ogorod", exclusive chamber concerts of the famous Italian tenor Fabio Andreotti called "Flower Opera" will be held in the ancient laboratory of the XIX century.The beginning is at 20.00.
Fabio Andreotti is often called the "new Pavarotti" for the similarity of the timbre of his voice with the legendary singer. The concert program will feature arias from the most famous operas by Giacomo Puccini, Giuseppe Verdi, Georges Bizet and other famous composers, Neapolitan songs, as well as piano improvisations performed by Philip Cheltsov, a virtuoso pianist, composer, taper and director of Russia's only Center for Improvisational Music, recently opened in the Aptekarsky Garden. Guests of the evening will enjoy a welcome drink and a champagne buffet during the intermission, as well as an autograph session and the opportunity to take memorable photos with the star of the world opera scene. The concert host is Alexey Reteyum, director of Aptekarsky Ogorod. Tickets are on sale online on the ticket sales page and at the Aptekarsky Ogorod box office. The ticket price starts from 5,000 rubles. Italian tenor Fabio Andreotti was born in Rome and graduated from the Faculty of Political Science of the University of Rome La Sapienza. It was only after that that he began seriously studying vocals with Italian masters Antonio Beyer and Gianni Raimondi. He made his professional stage debut in 2006, performing 'Salve Regina' By Haydn. Soon he won first prize at the Francesco Albanese competition with Alfredo's aria from the opera La Traviata by Giuseppe Verdi. The first decade of the 21st century brought the artist well—deserved success and performances all over the world - from his native Italy to South Korea and the USA. Until January 28, 2018, Aptekarsky Ogorod hosts Russia's largest exhibition of Japanese bonsai, The Art of Bonsai, as part of the Japanese Autumn Cultural Festival with the official support of the Japanese Embassy in Russia. Visitors to the garden cannot enter the ancient laboratory — it is a secret and well-guarded place. A chamber concert is a rare exception and one of the few chances to be in this almost sacred space.

The laboratory building of the 19th century is a place with an amazing atmosphere and a special energy. At one time, the director of the Botanical Garden of the Imperial Moscow University, Professor Ivan Nikolaevich Gorozhankin, conceived this building as a modern botanical laboratory, and, indeed, it was equipped with the latest technology of the time. Now the laboratory, where the ancient interior has been recreated and carefully preserved, is a place for important meetings of the garden staff, classes at the Environmental School and rare chamber concerts on an old piano, the same age as the building. Despite its age, the instrument is in excellent condition and requires only a little tuning. There are excellent acoustics in the room.
