STARLIGHT Italian Nightwish Tribute

The project takes shape in May 2016 with the name "Theater of The Moon, develops over time and, after the succession of various musicians, is perfected in September 2018, reaching the perfect" square with the inclusion in the staff of undoubted musicians crystalline value and technique (essential qualities given the exceptional nature of the proposed music), taking the name StarLight.
The symphonic-metal genre is characterized by the union of classical-orchestral symphonic music with heavy metal to which is added the lyrical voice typical of the opera, in this specific case admirably proposed by the soprano Irene Petitto, who joined the band StarLight in May 2019.
The elegance in the composition, the subtle baroque style with remarkable neo-classical nuances make the euphony and the pathos at the highest levels, the vocal parts embellished by an absolutely unique voice, all mixed with a sharp but never excessive guitar work.
The band performs in live concerts and theatrical performances of great acoustic and visual impact, replicating the evocative atmospheres evoked by the original band they are inspired by, (the Finns Nightwish, in fact).
The show offered by STARLIGHT is not just a symphonic metal concert, but it can certainly be defined as a MUSICAL, given the presence on the stage of dance choreographies and the projections on the big screen that visually "tell" the songs played.
But the evolution does not stop and on 11 September 2020 their first EP entitled "The World Is Calling .." is presented in memory of the events that marked the world on the same day in 2001 in New York.

PHOTOS
The proposed show is a succession of music and visual effects that have nothing to envy of the original band.

FILMS
