The Yerevan Youth Orchestra took part in the Al Bustan International Festival of Music and the Performing Arts at the Emile Bustani Auditorium, presenting Puccini’s Gianni Schicchi in a production held under the patronage of the Embassy of Italy in Beirut and in collaboration with leading international cultural institutions.

Under the baton of Gianluca Marcianò and featuring world-renowned bass-baritone Bryn Terfel in the title role, alongside Laura Fortino (Lauretta), Bechara Moufarrej (Rinuccio), Bella Amaryan (Zita), and many other distinguished artists, the performance brought together international experience and young talent in a refined interpretation of Puccini’s comic masterpiece — blending theatrical brilliance with musical precision on an international stage.
