Presentazione

Presentazione

Nel 2025 si commemorano i trecento anni dalla morte di Ales­sandro Scarlatti (Palermo 1660-Napoli 1725), il più impor­tante operista italiano tra XVII e XVIII secolo. In occasione di questo anniversario, sono numerosi i concerti, i convegni e le mani­festazioni che gli saranno dedicate in diversi luoghi d’Italia ed Europa.
Palermo, luogo di nascita del compositore, non poteva mancare a questo importante appun­tamento.
Dal 5 al 12 ottobre verrà rappresentata al Teatro Massimo in una nuova produzione l’opera Mitridate Eupatore (eseguita per la prima volta a Venezia nel 1707). Dal 2 al 4 ottobre, in concomi­tanza con questa rappresentazione, si svolgerà il convegno scien­tifico Alessandro Scarlatti, il “palermitano”. Storia e fortuna a 300 anni dalla morte, organizzato congiuntamente con il Dipartimento di Scienze umanistiche dell’Università di Palermo, che riunisce alcuni dei più eminenti studiosi di Scarlatti, italiani e stranieri.

Rispetto alle iniziative previste altrove, quelle palermi­tane sottolineano il rapporto tra Scarlatti e la sua città natale, sia tracciando un quadro delle attività musicali a Palermo nella sua epoca, sia illuminando alcuni momenti della storia della sua recezione in tempi recenti, in particolare attraverso il magistero di Roberto Pagano, autore di una fondamentale biografia di Alessan­dro e del figlio Domenico Scarlatti nonché promotore del Festival Scarlatti tenutosi per iniziativa del Teatro Massimo a Palermo nei primi anni Duemila.

Il convegno si concluderà il 4 ottobre in Sala ONU alle 10.30 con la tavola rotonda “Mettere in scena Scarlatti oggi”, organizzata in collaborazione con l’Associazione Amici del Teatro Massimo. Artisti di grande esperienza si confronteranno sull’attualità dell’opera barocca. Partecipano il violinista e direttore d’orchestra Fabio Biondi, il cantante Filippo Mineccia, il regista Stefano Vizioli; insieme a Cecilia Ligorio, Giulio Prandi e Paolo V. Montanari rispettivamente regista, direttore e dramaturg di Mitridate Eupatore . Seguirà l’esecuzione di alcune arie dal Mitridate Eupatore con: Martina Licari (soprano), Konstantin Derri (controtenore), Giulio Falzone (tiorba) e Michele Barbieri (clavicembalo).

Talking about Opera  – Le convenienze ed inconvenienze teatrali

This event is in Italian.

The art of storytelling is made up of intertwined threads that open up the enchantment of listening.

Beatrice Monroy tells us the story of the opera Le convenienze ed inconvenienze teatrali with Gigi Borruso and Stefania Blandeburgo.

Tickets (3 euros) are available at the box-office and online.

You can access the Sala Onu through the stairs located in the stage door area (on the right side of the main entrance, close to Via Pignatelli Aragona). An accessible pathway, with no steps and the elevator, is also available (ask the staff for guidance).

 

 

About

The project

Beatrice Monroy – with readings by Stefania Blandeburgo, Gigi Borruso, Rinaldo Clementi, Giuseppe Cutino, Consuelo Lupo, and Sabrina Petyx – recounts the plots of the Operas staged at the Teatro Massimo to the audience, as well as the historical and cultural references on which the librettists based their work.

Our aim is to bring to the audience the extraordinary stories that inspired the Masters to compose their masterpieces.

The plot

In an ethereal scene, lit by a soft, delicate light, a garden of bare peach trees appears. The petals of the flowers have fallen to the ground, the lanterns still hang from the branches. It seems that winter has passed or is about to arrive. Three characters behind their masks, like shadows, appear on the scene. They tell an ancient story, that of Princess Turandot, victim of a curse that has involved the whole kingdom. Her frozen heart cannot love, feel emotions and so her kingdom loses vigour, light and hope. Only the arrival of someone of great courage could break the spell that has made her the Ice Princess and the whole kingdom could return to shine and love.

Programme

The plot

The show is inspired by Suzy Lee’s book “The Wave” and tells a story that is both simple and complex: that of a little girl and her encounter with the sea, which leads her to cross a boundary, to experience, to learn. The sea is the natural element that contains and awakens a series of emotions and moods: curiosity, fascination, the desire to play, but also the unknown, fear, and the need to escape. The sea also marks the boundary between the real and the imaginary. The limit, therefore, that becomes a necessary step towards transformation and always leaves behind a treasure to be cherished.

This is an event for school groups. In case seats are available to the general audience, they will be on sale on the same day of performance at the box-office.
