A historic film, an immortal soundtrack and an incomparable setting. On August 14, the Fescinal summer cinema, in La Bombilla Park, offers a unique evening with the 35mm screening of Cinema Paradiso and live music performed by the violin and piano duo formed by Diana Valencia and Jorge Gil Zulueta, who will recreate some of Ennio Morricone‘s most emblematic themes.
The session, which will begin at 10:15 pm, is one of the highlights of the 41st edition of Fescinal, the longest running open-air film festival in Madrid. Tickets are already on sale for 8 euros.
