Fundraiser for the Maria G. Wilmeth ScholAbout this EventJoin us for a special evening dedicated to the extraordinary world of Italian opera, featuring a piano four-hands performance by Elena Buttiero and Anita Frumento.The program celebrates some of the greatest composers of Italian opera, including Verdi, Rossini, Mascagni, Giordano, and Cilea, through elegant piano transcriptions and original compositions for piano four hands.In the nineteenth century it was common to transcribe operas for small chamber ensembles. These arrangements allowed audiences to experience operatic music outside the theater and became an important way to share and promote new works. Many of these transcriptions evolved into sophisticated musical “fantasies” and paraphrases, transforming beloved operatic themes into remarkable piano compositions.The evening will also include a tribute to Mozart, with one of his works performed in Italian.This event also serves as a fundraiser for the Maria G. Wilmeth Scholarship Awards, supporting students and the promotion of Italian language and culture. - **Event URL**: https://allevents.in/bethesda/opera-for-piano-four-hands-homage-to-the-great-italian-opera-composers/100001985086878290 - **Event Categories**: Entertainment, Music, Nonprofit, Art, Concerts, Theatre - **Interested Audience**: - total_interested_count: 0 ## Ticket Details - **Ticket Price Range**: min: 39.19, max: 39.19, currency: USD ## Event venue details - **city**: Bethesda - **state**: MD - **country**: United States - **location**: The Italian Cultural Society of Washington D.C. - **lat**: 38.9911482 - **long**: -77.098316 - **full address**: The Italian Cultural Society of Washington D.C., 4833 Rugby Avenue, Bethesda, United States ## Event gallery - **Alt text**: Opera for Piano Four Hands: Homage to the Great Italian Opera Composers - **Image URL**: https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events8/banners/2c03c37d274a3073b7b378dbfa4e10702a65ce6a7fb32eeae789bba258f23667-rimg-w1200-h900-dc040508-gmir.jpg?v=1773427750 ## FAQs - **Q**: When and where is Opera for Piano Four Hands: Homage to the Great Italian Opera Composers being held? - **A:** Opera for Piano Four Hands: Homage to the Great Italian Opera Composers takes place on Fri, 24 Apr, 2026 at 06:30 pm to Fri, 24 Apr, 2026 at 09:30 pm at The Italian Cultural Society of Washington D.C., 4833 Rugby Avenue, Bethesda, United States. - **Q**: How much do tickets cost for Opera for Piano Four Hands: Homage to the Great Italian Opera Composers? - **A:** Tickets for Opera for Piano Four Hands: Homage to the Great Italian Opera Composers are priced at USD 39 per person.
