Camillo Pellegatta and Alice Law, in cooperation with the Italian Embassy in Bangkok and Bromsgrove International School Thailand, bring together two of the most loved arts in Thailand—music and food—to organize a unique, grandeur event for a good cause, to support a new charity initiative by the Camillians in Thailand
Throughout the world’s history, all the arts are interconnected, especially music and culinary—two of the most illustrious, yet easiest reachable sensory art forms. Globally-acclaimed composers have endlessly borrowed inspiration from food and culinary culture to create heart-touching arias and operas.
To celebrate the 150 anniversary of the diplomatic relation between Italy and Thailand and the 150 anniversary of the death of Gioacchino Rossini, Camillo Pellegatta and Alice Law are about to arrange the second “one-of-a-kind event” that brings them together in an elaborate interpretation at “The Taste of Music” a charity dinner and concert gala at the Royal Ballroom The Mandarin Oriental Hotel.
The evening will be dedicated to the genius of Rossini and serenaded by a joining force of music talents: celebrated pianist Nat Yontararak and Pana Yontararak, internationally renown baritone Marcello Rosiello, and brilliant young Italian tenor David Sotgiu.
David Sotgiu was trained by some of the world’s best singers such as Ruggero Raimondi, Raina Kabaiwanska, Renato Bruson, Mirella Freni and the one and only Luciano Pavarotti. Sotgiu debuted in 2003 in Matrimonio Segreto by Cimarosa and become a star in his own right ever since. He has been traveling around the world to perform various concert venues, including Opera National du Rhine in Strasburg, Gran Theatre in Geneva, Accademia Santa Cecilia in Rome, Sejong Centre in Seoul and Stadt Theater in Bern, as well as joining in Teatro Lirico Sperimentale’s Adriano Belli, which staged in Canada, Poland, Hungary, and Japan.
