The soloists are the tenor Flávio Leite, who plays Dante; a soprano Paola Bess, that gives life to the character Beatriz; and the baritone Carlos Rodriguez, who plays the role of Virgil. There are even more than 40 singers of Coral Madrigal Presto, including guests like the bass Pedro Spohr and the sopranos Elizabeth Lopes, Carine Fick and Carla Knijnik, with vocal preparation Lucia Steps and the regent John Paul Sefrin.

Intuitively organized by Cunha, the concert has three divisions. The first presents the beginning of Dante's journey in the dark jungle., passing through the gates of Hell and catching a glimpse of the beautiful young Beatriz, Dante's muse, besides introducing the other protagonists of the initial part of The Divine Comedy. not second segment, eight circles of Hell are traversed; and, finally, in the third stage of the show, the ninth and last circle.

The musical work is based on the unpublished translation of Inferno, made by Jose Clemente Pozenato on the original text by Dante Alighieri. ordered by Claudio Carrara, Bell'Anima CEO, the commemorative edition of the book meets the challenge of adopting a language that brings the Brazilian public closer to the indispensable great work. With direct and accessible vocabulary, Pozenato created a text to be read and felt these days. The new publication will also be launched on the seventh centenary of the Italian poet's death., with sales of copies and autograph sessions with Pozenato in Noble Foyer of Theatro São Pedro, days 14 and 18 September, from 1819.30 h.

The partnership between Cunha and Pozenato, that started in 2018, with Opera O Quadrilho, will still yield other good and audacious fruits in the coming years, with the continuation of the project in honor of Dante. In addition to the musical show and the unpublished translation dedicated to Inferno, the composer and the writer still plan to create works on the other two parts of the epic poem by the Florentine poet: the Purgatory and the Paradise.
