Event Info
Invitation to Listening for Quattro canti per Santa Rosalia
This conference is in Italian.
Free entrance
Saint Rosalia is the patron saint of Palermo and has been worshipped over the centuries not only through religious events but also by spectacular events in baroque style, in which music often played a leading role.
“4 Canti per Santa Rosalia” opens the 2024 Summer events of the Teatro Massimo, making a link with these events thanks to new music, commissioned to four composers. Together with the creators of the show and experts in the history of music in Palermo in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries we will take a journey through time to rediscover an ancient tradition.
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).
The presentations are organized by Associazione Amici del Teatro Massimo.

The Magazine
Presentation
Reborn after 53 years since its last publication, the Journal is part of the activities of the Historical Archive of the Biennale. Conceived and produced exclusively in print, the Magazine features a significant iconographic apparatus that draws largely from the Historical Archive of La Biennale and from national and international photographic research. Published quarterly, each issue will be monographic in focus, establishing a dialogue between the disciplines that distinguish La Biennale di Venezia – visual arts, architecture, dance, music, theatre, cinema – while also venturing into the realms of science and literature. .
Interventions, testimonies, interviews, dialogues and unpublished and exclusive contributions are signed by artists, scholars and important figures of the cultural panorama and civil society, both Italian and international. Multiplicity of languages and freedom of expression characterize the Magazine, which gives ample space to graphic experimentation and contamination between different forms and codes.
