LUCCA – Sales are not taking off for the big event which will be held worldwide in the stands. Regret of the world of culture. Umberto Sereni: “A defeat for Lucca”
Puccini according to Muti? A concert of global significance, but ‘snubbed’ by the hometown of the great composer who hosts it: Lucca. The event to be held on 28 June, organized by the promoting committee for the Puccini celebrations and presented in recent days in Rome, at the Ministry of Culture, as a unique event that will remain in the history of Italian music, has so far been a flop of tickets sold among the people of Lucca. Out of almost 5 thousand (out of a ceiling of eight thousand) those purchased by the people of Lucca would be a few hundred. We’ve been talking about it for months and the anticipation is very high also considering the choice of location which usually hosts the pop rock stars of the Lucca Summer festival with enthusiasts arriving from all over the world crowding the former Campo Balilla. According to what was reported by Umberto Sereni, member of the technical-scientific committee of the celebrations, if the situation remains this way the concert could be moved from the stands of the Walls to Piazza Grande, with regret on the part of the representatives of the world of culture who are still hoping for the final rush of the sales. Mayor Mario Pardini intervenes on the issue and says he is satisfied, underlining that in recent days they are starting to take off and great success is expected.
