For the concert, a selection was made from the very rich work of the composer, choosing from among his most famous soundtracks, following a chronological order from the beginning of the 60s to the present day. The concert will feature music from The Good, The Bad and The Ugly, Once upon a time in America, The Hateful Eight and many others.

The singer has been a frequent guest on Ennio Morricone’s tours around the world since 2001. The orchestra will be conducted by Andrea Albertini.
