Virtuosic performance, theatrical humor and pop culture meet in the heart of this dynamic musical comedy team discovered by Italian tenor Andrea Bocelli. Comprising renowned violinist Brad Repp and pianist-actor Aldo Gentileschi, the duo modernizes the centuries-old European theatre tradition of Commedia dell’arte, combining clownish characters and physical comedy with impeccably played chamber music — leaving you laughing-out-loud one minute and stunned to silence by a moving masterpiece the next.
