18th Century, Venice. The Ospedale della Pietà is a refuge for orphaned and abandoned children. Here, girls study music, and the most talented of whom are placed in a special orchestra – renowned as one of the best in the world – that performs for Venetian high society and wealthy patrons of the orphanage.

“Director Damiano Michieletto deserves a standing ovation for how he has taken Primavera’s source material, Tiziano Scarpa’s novel Stabat Mater, and crafted something magical.”
Loud and Clear

“With excellent production values, Primavera functions as a work rich in its music and in its period recreation, but it is equally successful in telling a persuasive and moving story which reflects its historical setting. ”
