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.

Programme

The plot

The legend of Tristan and Isolde, one of the most romantic stories of the Middle Ages, is very old: it tells the adventures of a knight and a princess who fall in love thanks to a magic elixir. Wagner composed the opera based on Goffredo di Strasburgo’s text and staged it in 1865. It is still considered one of the masterpieces of all time. The version that will be performed, while maintaining the essential dramaturgical and musical lines intact, is adapted in such a way as to exalt the magical and symbolic fairy-tale aspects of the story, which has at its centre important themes linked to the imaginary and ideal horizon of the world of chivalry, such as the search for love, the relationship between public morality and private morality, sin and fidelity.

Spoken parts of the performance are in Italian; a basic understanding of the language is adviced.

Performances from Tue to Fri are events 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.

The plot

A ball is a belly, a head, an animal body. For play it is constantly transformed, and in between jokes, it is even possible for it to become Falstaff! Inspired by Giuseppe Verdi’s masterpiece, this very early childhood show explores play as a universal language, transporting young spectators to an enchanted universe where anything is possible. A poetic adventure that stimulates the imagination and celebrates fantasy.

Questo è uno spettacolo per i gruppi scolastici.

The project

Workshop practical info

The workshop is recommended from the fifth to the eighth month of pregnancy, when it has been scientifically proven that the fetus begins to perceive and react to sounds coming from outside. Reproducing the sounds perceived during gestation, especially the voices of the parents, after birth, produces relaxing effects, intensifies the sound bond with the baby, and promotes vocal identification.
