VIVA VERDI! LA Opening at Laemmle Monica: October 3-9 - One Week Only at Laemmle Monica

VIVA VERDI! is an intimate glimpse into the lives of the celebrated opera singers and musicians currently living out their 'third act' while mentoring international music students who live among them at Milan's unique retirement home, Casa Verdi, built by Verdi in 1896.  Through one-on-one interviews and archival footage, the film follows the lives of these distinguished masters, shining a spotlight on Verdi’s legacy that is still alive and thriving one hundred years later.    From these 'guests of Verdi,’ age 77 to 107, comprised of international opera singers, ballet dancers, musicians, conductors and composers, we hear an extraordinary array of personal and professional stories filled with music, magic and passion, and ultimately learn why Verdi called this remarkable home his “best work.”
