Italian children's choir tour of Shanghai to go virtual

Piccolo Coro "Mariele Ventre" dell'Antoniano, a celebrated children's choir from Italy, has toured China during the New Year season for the past five years.

Though the choir will not be able to enter the country this year because of the pandemic, their music will be presented by the Shanghai Children's Art Theater (SHCAT) with the help of high-fidelity imaging transmission and hologram technology.

Considered a national treasure in Italy, the choir is well-known around the world and is a Good Will Ambassador for UNICEF.
