Classical Crossover Christmas Carols

Released in 2024, All Is Bright marks Living Opera’s first full-scale album, a celebration of Christmas and of the next generation of artists who made it possible. Recorded with the Filarmonica di Benevento, the project gave young Italian musicians meaningful work and a platform to shine. Blending traditional carols with fresh orchestral colors, All Is Bright reimagines the season’s sound through an operatic lens.
