RENATA TEBALDI
“profonda ed infinita” (“Profound and Infinite”)
The exhibition was begun in December, 2005 , and reveals the many-sided nature of the great star, the life of a woman who it is impossible not to love, a year after she passed away.
It is an acknowledgement justly made to our most extraordinary opera singer, who, with her angelic voice and her rigorous knowledge as a musician inebriated theatre goers of every country, a witness to Italian Art and Culture.
The exhibition is a traveling exhibition, and it is an event for music lovers, and in general for the entire public.

Exhibition News
The Renata Tebaldi exhibition planned for September in New York has had to be postponed due to cost problems. However, after the press conference held by Maestro Riccardo Muti, where the planned exhibition was announced, other US theaters began to express interest in also hosting the exhibition. For this reason we have decided to take this opportunity to re-organize the event and incorporate some of the new opportunities presented.
