The artists for this production include well-established conductorDaniel Cohen, along with some young but well-established experts of the Mozart repertoire such as Giovanni Sala (Tamino), Valentina Mastrangelo (Pamina) and Guido Loconsolo (Papageno). The opera is co-produced with Palau de Les Artes Reina Sof\u00eda in Valencia. &#8220;The international flair of our Festival&#8221;, says Barbara Minghetti, &#8220;is matched by its strong ties with the local community for its themes, social relevance, engagement and interaction with the surrounding areas.
