The fourth episode of SoftTalks | Voci dal Regno Unito is now online.
Ambassador Inigo Lambertini speaks with Maestro Speranza Scappucci, internationally renowned conductor and the first woman to lead an opera at Milan’s Teatro alla Scala. Since last September, she has also served as Principal Guest Conductor at the Royal Opera House, Covent Garden, for the current season.
The conversation explores diplomacy, music, and soft power, delving into how Italy is presented and perceived in the United Kingdom, and the role of culture as a tool for international relations.
The episode is available (in Italian) on Spotify and Spreaker.
This initiative is a project of the Press and Culture Office of the Italian Embassy in London, conceived and curated by Embassy Counsellor Maria Manca, moderated by Barbara Gallino, with technical support from Complitaly.
