Alma Manera, a former Miss Italy contestant, will play the lead role in Mary of Nazareth, A Story that Goes On - the first ever musical to be performed in the Holy See's Paul VI Auditorium, which has previously only hosted classical concerts.
The production, which traces the life story of Jesus' virgin mother, has been officially blessed by Cardinal Tarcisio Bertone, the Vatican secretary of state.
