Gyeongnam Culture & Arts Center will close its 2025 season with a special year-end performance featuring Italian 4 Tenors on December 16 at 7:30 p.m. in the main hall.

The concert brings together four Italian opera vocalists known for their smooth bel canto style, paired with orchestral accompaniment led by conductor Jung In-hyuk and the Jinju Municipal Symphony Orchestra.

The lineup includes Giovanni Leccese, Alessandro Fantoni, Ugo Tarquini, and Angelo Forte, tenors active on major European stages.

Their program highlights signature Italian repertoire, from the overture to Verdi’s La Forza del Destino to well-known arias such as “La donna è mobile” and “Nessun dorma.” Popular Italian songs “Torna a Surriento” and “Volare” also feature in the setlist.

The concert adds variety with guest performances: soprano Seo Ju-hee joins the tenors for “Il bacio” and “Time to Say Goodbye,” while cellist Lee Ga-eun performs “Hungarian Rhapsody.”

The venue noted the concert aims to deliver a warm seasonal atmosphere through classic Italian vocal music and orchestral sound, offering audiences a celebratory closing to the year.
