Opening Avant Premiere by IMZ with JUAN DIEGO FLÓREZ

Avant Premiere held a spectacular opening of the 2016 edition (at Scandic Hotel) showing footage (courtesy EuroArts ) from a wonderful charity gala from the Wiener Staatsoper: Peruvian tenor Juan Diego Flórez invited some of his most accomplished colleagues onto the stage with him for a charity concert in aid of Peruvian children. The tenor has agreed to join for the screening, introduce the program, speak about his charity - and of course, sing, but unfotunately he turned out sick and sent the audiene a skyp emessage and a vocal video recorded performance.

The event began with a key note and some opening remarks about the mission of IMZ.
