The performances, in particular, will be combined with classic Oscar-winning movie scenes composed by Ennio Morricone.

When mentioning Ennio Morricone, it is important to acknowledge his huge works of art with more than 400 compositions used for movies and television. During his career, he has won two Oscars, one of which is for "Best Soundtrack" in 2016.

This is an opportunity for Vietnamese and Italian audiences to enjoy international standard music concerts, where the exchange, discovery, enjoyment, and experience of culture and art are entirely different from previous musical events.

Attendees will immerse in the atmosphere of love from beautiful Italy, and the arrangement of the space.

Two nights of the concert "Valentine Concert From Italy with love" include opera and soundtracks composed by Ennio Morricone, arranged on a jazz background combined with the symphony.
