The musical journey of Cantando come donna innamorata (“Singing like a woman in love”) mirrors Dante’s wanderings through the lush, Edenic gardens of the final Canti of Purgatorio. Following Matelda’s song, we are drawn into a triumph of sounds and visions, with celestial choirs and radiant colors. Here, we experience the bittersweet farewell to the mentor Virgil and the glorious arrival of the beloved Beatrice.
