Presentation
The work traces the composer’s great artistic and human adventure, drawing on mostly unpublished documents and testimonies that reconstruct the parable of an artist whose life was extremely intense, made up of strong family ties and friendships and collaborations with some of the greatest artists of his time, from Fellini and Visconti to De Filippo, Béjart, Coppola and Zeffirelli.

The plot
A painful, unforgettable story of Liliana Segre being deported to the Auschwitz concentration camp when she was only 13 years old. A story of which the world must become the bearer in order to pass on what has been and must never happen again. A story that stems from the personal need to help young consciences become familiar with painful facts that are part of our past through the most suitable tools.
Spoken parts of the performance are in Italian; a basic understanding of the language is adviced.
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.

Programme
The plot
Aida is not only a monumental opera set in an idealized Egypt, but a universal story that speaks of deep human emotions. The protagonists—Aida, Radamès, and Amneris—are young people overwhelmed by passions and ambitions greater than themselves, victims of an inexorable fate and a cruel and useless war. The opera thus becomes a reflection on love as the only way to give meaning to life.
