Baritone Ernesto Johnston believes that it is necessary to move the means of development so that the people know the scope of opera in this part of the nation, by staging operas, operettas, songs and other genres of well-known vernacular and classical authors, including Giuseppe Verdi, Giacomo Puccini and Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart.
The Festival of Voices, the first cultural event of 2016 in Guantanamo, presents on Thursday, also in the Concert Hall Antonia Luisa Cabal, a concert by the Quartet Vidas, while the closing ceremony will be on Friday at 8 pm at the Provincial Museum.
