World-renowned operatic tenor Juan Diego Flórez will make his debut with the Hong Kong Philharmonic Orchestra under the baton of distinguished conductor Michele Spotti later this month.
Two concerts will be held in Hong Kong and Guangzhou, Guangdong province, on Oct 22 and 24, respectively, according to HK Phil. Tickets are being sold.
One of the most recognized artists in today’s opera, Flórez has captivated audiences at The Metropolitan Opera, Teatro alla Scala, the Royal Opera House, and beyond.
