Programme
Massimo Community Lab – La casa della musica
January 28 – march 4 2019 | Sala degli Stemmi
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.

Massimo Community Lab – Bastiano e Bastiana
January 28 – March 4 2019 | Sala degli Stemmi
Music by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart
Conductor Federico Amendola
Director Angelica Dettori
Scene designs Andrea Fiduccia
Mozart is a young boy of only 12 years when he composes the operetta in one act Bastiano and Bastiana. The theatrical form is that of singspiel comedy, the story is told by alternating singing to the parts recited. The theme is the love between two young people, put in crisis by his desire to escape; the text used by Mozart was born as a parody of Rousseau’s Clairvoyant of the village. In an agreste context of innocent pastoral life, the young Bastiana fears that her beloved may betray her. That’s why he turns to the magician Colas for good advice. Will he get it? Come to the theatre and find out!

Programma
The division between stage and hall is thinner, because the listener is called to become part of that oscillation that is the sound wave that propagates within the theater: the audience will participate actively with their movement in a great shared dance. Joining the show, you can take part in real time to the birth of a lively choreography, which aims to free the body and minds thanks to the union of music and dance.

Full price: 12 euro (adults)
