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.

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.

Conductor Tommaso Ussardi

Conductor Alberto Cavallotti

Programme

Programma

A maestro is rehearsing an orchestra and, as it happens during the study, he repeats some steps giving interpretative indications to all the sections of the present instruments. In the version with music by Alberto Maniaci and lyrics and direction by Alberto Cavallotti, the maestro, who enters the stage before the beginning of the test and begins to hum with a warm funny bass voice, is accompanied by the assistant Vinicius Carioquinho, Brazilian music pianist, devoured by love for samba. When he plays, his hands on the keyboard hint at some arias of the classical repertoire but then as if by magic they run towards the melodies of the carnival of Rio, unleashing the wrath of Maestro Attanasio. The rehearsal must begin and the orchestra enters: there are violins, violas, cellos, double basses, horns, bassoons, oboes, flute, timpani, all carried by the energy of Vinicius. Thus, with lightness, taste and a series of funny gags you perform Il maestro di cappella by Domenico Cimarosa

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!

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.

Programme

Tomaso Montanari, has reconstructed on stage the “escapes” that Piero Calamandrei organized during the twentieth fascist year in the company of the major exponents of antifascism and 20th century Italian culture: Luigi Russo, Pietro Pancrazi, Alessandro Levi, Benedetto Croce and many others. The visits of one of the fathers of our Constitution to the lost places in the Tuscan and Lazio countryside were also an opportunity for the formation, through thoughts and confrontation, of the idea of a new Italy. Through photographs and unpublished documents, letters, photographs and diaries, Montanari has reconstructed the particular counterscene of a crucial historical moment.

Programme

We are in the new restaurant that Totò, a chef who made a career in Paris, has recently opened in Palermo and is the new attraction of the city’s nightlife. It is precisely from “Chez Totò” that Tancredi, a young son of the well-known Palermo, accompanies Solange, called Chérie, a young Parisian fashion designer who has moved to the city and whom he is in love with. Once at the restaurant, they are welcomed by Toto who is an old friend of Tancredi but also of Calogero, another suitor of Chérie who comes too for a drink. Then begins a tangle of funny situations, misunderstandings and gags managed by Totò, his two waiters Simone and Rosalia and Cettina, girlfriend abandoned by Caologero. A game of couples in which Toto, a bit’ istrione and a little’ Deus ex machina, disfa e riannoda nuovi amori e vecchie amicizie.

Programme

In addition to the influence of Dante, this colossal work is also shadowed by Richard Wagner, to whom the composition is dedicated. By sending him a copy of the complete score, on Easter day, Liszt wrote to Wagner: «As Virgil did for Dante, in the same way you taught me the way through the mysterious contradas of the sublime worlds of sounds. From the deepest heart I cry to you “You are my teacher and my author!” and consecrate this work with immutable faithful love». It always amazes the humility with which Liszt, although older and decidedly more famous (and rich) than Wagner, recognized the superiority of his future son-in-law. That he never reciprocated with esteem or gratitude; on the contrary, in the case of the Symphony on the Divine Comedy he suggested not to dare to attempt to represent Paradise. It is thus that the first two parts (Hell and Purgatory) are not followed by a third, but the symphony ends with a Magnificat entrusted to a female choir.
