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).

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.

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.

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.
