Ricordate Giulietta degli Spiriti? Do you remember Juliet of the Spirits?
A wonderful cinematographic project by Federico Fellini inspired byf his short story ‘Giulietta’ published by the Swiss publisher Diogenes, to then become the film Giulietta degli Spiriti, a long spirit session populated by magicians and visionaries and without doubt one of the Maestro’s masterpieces,
Valter Malosti wanted to stage a theatrical version of the story, written all in subjective as a flow of consciousness of the protagonist and freely adapted by Vitaliano Trevisan.
Roberta Caronia is the extraordinary protagonist, a Juliet who, like a contemporary Alice in the mirror, lives in a poignant psychoanalytic fairy tale, childish and at the same time disturbing, surrounded by disturbing characters, such as the suggestive puppets of Gianni Busso and nailed in the center of a track of a circus, The circus, a world dear to Fellini and always a source of inspiration.
“This intoxication, this emotion, this exaltation, this immediate feeling at home, I felt it immediately, the first time I entered the tent of a circus; and it wasn’t even the time for the show” writes Jacqueline Risset in his book ‘The Enchanter’, “it was early in the morning and under the golden awning that barely breathed, like a large warm, welcoming panciona, there was no one. There was a great enchanted silence, from afar the voice of a a woman who sang the clothes and alone, the neigh of a horse, somewhere. I was kidnapped, suspended, like an astronaut abandoned on the moon who finds his spaceship “.
I would like to mention the incisive scenographic productions of Paolo Baroni and the beautiful lights by Francesco Dell’Elba. Patrizia Tirino has designed tutu dresses ranging from the fairy tale and the dream, the original music by Giovanni D’aquila and reconstruction and the musical reworkings by Fabio Cinicola that inevitably lead us to and atmospheres of Nino Rota. On stage 14, 15 July 2020

Thursday, December 10th. It will be an amazing night for opera lovers.
It will happen in one of The Space Cinema, a great chain of movie theaters all over the Italian territory, hosting two long waited live performances from London Royal Opera House. I am talking off Mascani’s Cavalleria Rusticana and Leoncavallo’s Pagliacci, two short works, each recognized as the masterpiece of its composer, are presented together in a new production of the award-winning Damiano Michieletto. Exaggerated and cheeky, tender and inventive, energetic and ironic: 40 years old Michieletto is considered the richest talent of Italian directors, who come and go between lyrical and dramatic theater.The two masterpieces, set up as Sergio Leone westerns, will reveal their western soul…

Diaghilev, Nijinsky, Massine, Pina Bausch, Martha Graham, Kenneth MacMillan, Maurice Béjart, Natalia Kasatkina and Vladimir Vasiliev those are just few names of extraordinary choreographers who were enchanted by Igor Stravinskij’s The Rite of Spring, the legend where in spring a virgin was sacrificed to propitiate the benefit of the gods with primitive rituals celebrating the advent of spring,with a unique score that contains many novel features for its time, including experiments in tonality, rhythm, stress and dissonance. that attack and conquer every listener.
Hungarian choreographer Marinel Stefanescu staged it in 1986 with a show at the Valli Theater in Reggio Emilia, It was a great success and was requested in many Italian theaters and for several tours abroad. Last night, the Teatro Manzoni di Milano hosted Liliana Cosi and Marinel Stefanescu‘s company Nuovo Balletto Classico, featuring Dorian Grori and Rezart Stafa, a strong couple of male principals, while Elena Casolar and Michela Mazzoni seamed to me to be less stable on their movements. I have to mention the energetic and convincing ensemble of 25 young talented dancers…

Put together the “Swan Song ” a vaudeville by Chekhov about an old actor in a
theatre after the lights go out, the eternal music of Tchaikovsky, the genially irreverent choreography and direction by Fabrizio Monteverde and a bunch of older, aching, curved dancers who want to live one more time the tragic love story of Prince Siegfried and Odette/Odile. The result is an amazing new version of one of the most celebrated ballet in the history The Swan Lake, this time retitled Il Lago dei Cigni ovvero il Canto…
