In the 17th century. The concert for Italian vocal music houses bridges - between epochs, countries and people's hearts. These are bridges from the past, where the music of the talented Baroque women, Francescos and Settimios Caccini, sounds alongside their fellow Stefan Landi's art. Love becomes not only the axis of life but also in creative work, like Barbara Strozzi's heart connection with teacher Francesco Cavalli. Geographic bridges are also built; This time they are between Lithuania and Italy. The world of Vladislav Vaza, King of Poland and King of Lithuania, meets the musical vision of Francescos Caccini and Marco Scacchi. All of them are united by a common passion for a new genre, an opera that contains the inexhaustible power of poetry and drama. Finally, it sounds invisible, but strongly felt bridges of love - between the nation and the man, between justice and the inner truth. They are embodied by the characters who have reached us from the stories of Scripture and from church music barters: Judith, Susan, Mary Magdalene - eternal symbols of love, strength and light. Ruth and Francesco met fifteen years ago in Italy, Vicenza, where the Pedrollo of the Conservatory of this city studied old music. Both were particularly fascinated by the music of the Italian Baroque era - lively, sensual, full of dramatism. After her studies, the roads divorced - Ruth returned to Lithuania, and Francesco went to Switzerland. This year, after a long break, they meet on stage again, walking together with musical bridges, allowing them to sound alive in their hearts. Rūta Vox (Rūta Vosyliūtė) graduated from prof. S.
