Yvonne Russo "Viva Verdi! The Power of Music, Mentorship, and Legacy"

Award-winning filmmaker Yvonne Russo joins host Mark Gordon on Center Stage to discuss her inspiring new documentary Viva Verdi!, a moving portrait of composer Giuseppe Verdi’s retirement home for aging musicians and Opera singers in Milan. Built from Verdi’s own fortune, the Casa di Riposo per Musicisti stands as a living testament to art, compassion, and the creative spirit that transcends age. In this heartfelt conversation, Russo reflects on Verdi’s generosity, the beauty of the home’s design, and how it fosters an intergenerational exchange between young artists and seasoned performers. Russo and Gordon explore how Viva Verdi! redefines the meaning of aging with dignity, purpose, and joy, and how the film could serve as a blueprint for senior living communities worldwide. They also discuss the decade-long journey to fund and film the documentary independently, and how true artistic control allows stories like this to retain their heart and humanity. 🎥 Viva Verdi! is now screening in theaters, including Laemmle Theatres in Santa Monica, with upcoming events at Lincoln Center, Sarasota Opera House, and AARP’s Movies for Grownups series. 📍 Guest: Yvonne Russo — Director, Producer, Writer 🎬 Film: Viva Verdi! 🎙️ Host: Mark Gordon — Center Stage with Mark Gordon 🌐 www.stageandscreen.com Viva Verdi, Yvonne Russo, Mark Gordon, Center Stage, Giuseppe Verdi, Casa di Riposo per Musicisti, Italian opera, aging with dignity, creativity and aging, documentary film, Milan Italy, senior living, intergenerational art, independent filmmaking, Verdi documentary, filmmaking interview, arts and aging, Laemmle Theatres, Lincoln Center, Sarasota Opera House, AARP Movies for Grownups, music and legacy, film interview, director interview, humanitas prize, Viva Verdi documentary, filmmaking inspiration, aging gracefully, music documentary, independent film, performing arts
