Divo Nerone <Italian> / Divo Nero (2017) is a rock opera by Franco Migliacci.
~ Libretto by Franco Migliacci; music by a group of composers coordinated by Ernesto Migliacci
Abstract
The musical guides audiences through 14 years in the life of the emperor held responsible for the famous fire of 64 A.D., recounting his achievements, his passions and his complex personality.
The opera was performed either in English or in Italian.
