Outside
of Italy, America is the country that is most influenced by Italian culture.
From food to fashion to music, Italian-American flavor is an integral part of
everyday American life.
Coming this December, PBS introduces American audiences to BELL'ARIA,
a musical group that pays tribute to the Italian-American musical legacy. BELL'ARIA performs traditional Italian songs as well as known
classical crossover pieces and pop hits made popular by some of the most
revered Italian-American voices such as Dean Martin, Rose Mary Clooney, Al
Martino, and many others.
Combining the vocal prowess of five talented Italian-American singers,
BELL'ARIA is Angelica DiCastro, Chris Macchio, Jessica Carvo, Gabriel
Burrafato and Miriam Pultro. They are accompanied by an eight member band and
a string orchestra conducted by music director, arranger and Grammy
Award-winner Craig Leon.
Shot live in high definition at the famed Venetian Hotel in Las Vegas,
BELL'ARIA entertains and delights viewers with a variety of musical riches,
including:
Mambo Italiano / Non Domenticare / Bacciame / Oh Marie / Volare / You Don't
Have to Say You Love Me / That's Amore / Santa Lucia / Back to Sorrento / Oh
Sole Mio / Mamma / Funiculi Funicula / Mio Babbino Caro / Bridisi / Al Di La /
Be My Love / Arrivederci Roma
The special was directed by Pierre Lamoreaux, produced by Fogo Labs and
International Media, and executive-produced by Gustavo Sagastume and
Terrell Cass. A national tour following the PBS premiere will be produced by
CAMI (Columbia Artists Management International).
