Italian conductor to perform in Morocco

Italian conductor Ricardo Muti and his Mai Musical Florentin orchestra will perform on July 17 at the majestic Lahdim square in Meknès on the fiftieth anniversary of Morocco's independence.

According to a communiqué from the Moroccan Embassy in Italy, the concerts, dubbed "Friendship Paths", will reflect the friendship between Morocco and Italy and will be a brotherhood bridge between the two peoples through art and culture.

Born in Naples in 1941, Ricardo Muti had his debut in Naples in 1970 and was music director of Milan's famous La Scala from 1986-2005. He has conducted the most celebrated orchestras and was honored and decorated in the United States, Russia, England and Italy. He is one of the finest opera conductors and has given some of the most powerful dramatic performances of Verdi and Mozart.
