About
Book presentation (in Italian)
Giovanni Gavazzeni, curatore del volume, e Ilaria Grippaudo, ricercatrice presso l’Università di Palermo, presentano La minuziosa verità, volume che raccoglie tutti gli scritti pucciniani di Gianandrea Gavazzeni.
Direttore d’orchestra celebre e apprezzato, moderno e consapevole interprete della vitalità, dell’originalità e della modernità dell’universo pucciniano, Gianandrea Gavazzeni ha dedicato a Giacomo Puccini saggi critici e memorie artistiche, cogliendone aspetti nascosti e offrendo intuizioni interpretative che risultano, ancor oggi, straordinariamente felici. Così le partiture di Tosca, Bohème, Madama Butterfly, Manon, Turandot, La fanciulla del West…diventano materia di analisi e, al contempo, argomento di riflessione su tutti gli aspetti dello spettacolo operistico.
La presentazione, nel giorno della prima di Turandot, ricorda che l’ultima opera di Puccini fu uno dei tanti titoli diretti da Gianandrea Gavazzeni al Teatro Massimo, nell’arco di più di quarant’anni: un percorso ricchissimo e indimenticabile che spazia da Mozart e Rossini fino al Novecento.

A sensory journey dedicated to the sound of the body

Programme
Programme
The dancers propose a collaborative experience: after an initial stage as spectators, students are involved in the movement and called to listen and share their perceptions. A performance that comes from the research on the sounds of the body still and in motion, starting from what we perceive as silence. The absence of sound is never true absence: the body is sound. The bones, organs, fluids of the body have a sound. Perceiving the inner sound puts us in contact with the vibrations and sound waves of the body that are projected outside, transformed, reshaped and active. the body moves and meets the air, generating forms and dynamics related to acceleration, deceleration, suspension, fall, resistance, tension and release. The space, with which the body meets and clashes, generates frequencies and intensity. And what happens when internal frequencies, generated by the body, interact with external frequencies generated from other sources? A dialogue is born that interferes with our emotional states, because the receptors through nerve circuits have the power to generate emotions.

Stati Generali della Cultura 2024
Rinascimento ContemporaneoQual è l’impatto delle nuove tecnologie sulla fruizione del patrimonio culturale e come stanno modificando la produzione di cultura?

Sarà questo interrogativo al centro della prima tappa di Stati Generali della Cultura 2024.
Dal palco del Teatro Massimo di Palermo, sguardo rivolto al futuro e spazio ai giovani, veri eredi della ricchezza e varietà culturale dell’Italia.
Si parlerà per questo di cinema, teatro e opera ma anche dell’impatto del lavoro culturale sulle comunità e i processi di innovazione sociale.

Guided tour with creative workshop for kindergarten
The guided tour for children is a time of learning and cultural growth: a playful and educational moment aimed at promoting in pupils a greater knowledge of the Theatre as an asset of historical and artistic interest and also as a place to promote culture. The objective is to introduce the Teatro Massimo to children of pre-school schools through an animated path, which brings together the history of the theater, with the description of its most representative spaces, and a fantastic narrative that guides them through the halls accompanied by the characters of the works. The story of the works and listening to some fragments of famous arias in a path of approach to the opera and its most important city monument.
Accompanied by an expert on childhood and a singer, the children will complete their journey by experimenting in a manual workshop, led by an artist specialized in working with children, through the use of artistic techniques and recycling materials.Info
Info
The activity is designed for groups of minimum 25 children and maximum 50.
