The annual VIVALDI Festival at Arcosanti was presented by Art Renaissance Initiative and the Colly Soleri Music Center on Saturday, May 5. 2007. The performance was a beautifully executed musical comedy, based on a love story that took place in 1735, spiced up with adventure, live music and even sword fights.
This years production “Carnival in Venice" was directed and choreographed by Hans Kliphuis.
