The first of these lectures is developing at the orders of the master Giulio Zappa, who is in charge of providing training in vocal technique, interpretation and, in particular, the importance of the phonetic Italian applicable to the interpretive model belcantista of the first half of the 1800s, where we find composers such as Donizetti, Bellini and Rossini.
