THE BAND

Brit Floyd is a Pink Floyd tribute band formed in 2011 in Liverpool, United Kingdom. Their live shows attempt to emulate and recreate the sound and soundscape of Pink Floyd’s live shows. Damian Darlington formed the band after playing with The Australian Pink Floyd Show for 17 years. Brit Floyd originated on the initiative of musical director, guitarist, and singer Damian Darlington “simply because he felt he could do it one better” than his previous band, The Australian Pink Floyd Show, and stating that “there is much more attention to details in every aspect of the show, from the music to the visuals to the lighting: everything is that much more perfected and there’s a passion coming off that stage… It’s a coherent, emotional journey through Pink Floyd’s catalog.”

Darlington began following Pink Floyd’s work after hearing The Wall at the age of 13 and he saw the band live for the first time in 1987 during the A Momentary Lapse of Reason Tour. “Since then, he has seen the band in different incarnations, after its split, and including its 2005 reunion.

Italian pop singer/songwriter and producer Max Gazzè was born in Rome and raised in Brussels, where the talented performer began studying music, taking electric bass classes at the age of 14. Soon, Gazzè was joining different bands, playing soul, funk, progressive rock, and ska. After participating in an English group called 4 Play 4, he returned to Rome in 1991, forming a rhythm & blues act called Emporium, composing the soundtrack for local short films, and recording his first solo album, Contro un’Onda del Mare (Against a Wave of the Sea), in 1994, issued by Virgin Records in November 1995. Already starting to gain a following, thanks to opening for the famed Franco Battiato before his debut was even released, Gazzè got to work on his next album between touring and performances at the San Remo Festival. La Favola di Adamo ed Eva came out in 1998, followed by the self-titled third effort two years later. However, signs of label problems were already apparent, and by 2003 Gazzè had left Virgin for EMI, and by the next year his first album with them, Un Giorno, had come out.

BIOGRAPHY
Gianna Nannini (born 1954 in Tuscany) is an Italian female singer-songwriter and pop musician. Among her songs, “Bello e impossibile” (1986) was an international hit in Austria, Germany, Italy and Switzerland.

Personal life
Nannini was born in Siena on 14 June 1954. She is the older sister of former Formula One racing driver Alessandro Nannini. She studied piano and composition in Milan in the late 1970s and obtained a degree in Philosophy from the University of Siena in 1994. The following year she took part in a protest organized by Greenpeace at the French embassy in Rome against the decision of the French government to pursue nuclear experiments at Mururoa. In August 2010, at the age of 54, she announced that she was pregnant. Nannini’s pregnancy was prominently featured on the cover of Vanity Fair, where she was portraited wearing a T-shirt with the inscription ‘God is a Woman’. On 26 November 2010 at 12 AM Nannini’s daughter Penelope Jane Charlotte was born at the Madonnina Clinic in Milan. In 2017, Nannini decided to move in London with her partner, Carla. In her 2017 autobiography, titled Cazzi miei, she revealed she was ready for a civil union with Carla, explaining she felt Italian laws could not give her any warranty about Penelope’s future in case of Nannini’s death.

Musical career
Nannini scored her first domestic hit in 1979 with the single “America” and the album California, which became a success in several European countries. Her international breakthrough happened in 1984 with the release of her sixth album, the Conny Plank-produced Puzzle, who peaked in the top 10 in the Italian, German, Austrian and Swiss charts. The first single from the album, “Fotoromanza”, was supported by a music video directed by Michelangelo Antonioni, and went on to win many musical awards. Nannini embarked on a long European tour to support the album, culminating in a headlining gig at the Montreux Jazz Festival.
In 1986, her song “Bello e impossibile” was a European hit in Italy, Germany, Austria and Switzerland. Her 1987 compilation album Maschi e Altri sold over a million copies.
In 2004, she released the greatest hits album Perle, where a number of her most renewed songs were rearrangemed with the support of musicians such as Christian Lohr on piano (who also had a co-producer credit), and a string quartet composed of Vincenzo di Donna (first violin), Luigi de Maio (second violin), Gerardo Morrone (viola) and Antonio di Franca (violoncello). With this orchestra Nannini went on a European tour from 2004 to 2005.
The album Grazie was released in February 2006, and peaked at number one of the Italian hit-parade with the single “Sei nell’anima”.
In April 2007, Nannini released Pia come la canto io, a collection of songs produced by Wil Malone and originally intended for a rock opera based on the medieval Tuscan character Pia de’ Tolomei (briefly mentioned in Dante’s Purgatorio) that would eventually be performed in 2008 after eleven years of gestation.
An acoustic version of her song Meravigliosa Creatura (from Perle) has been used in a 2008 advertisement commercial for the Fiat Bravo directed by Matthias Zentner. Fiat would later include another Gianna Nannini song, “Aria”, in a subsequent Fiat Bravo ad.

Duets
In 1987 she performed with Sting and Jack Bruce the “Three Penny Opera” by Bertolt Brecht and Kurt Weill at the Schauspielhaus in Hamburg. In 1990, she and Edoardo Bennato sang “Un’estate italiana”, the official song of the Football World Cup 1990 composed by Giorgio Moroder. In September 2006, she recorded the single “Ama Credi E Vai” with Andrea Bocelli. Nannini was also featured on Einstürzende Neubauten member Alexander Hacke’s solo album Sanctuary, on the track “Per Sempre Butterfly”. In 2008 she duetted with the Italian rapper Fabri Fibra in his videoclip version of the song “In Italia”. She also sang the song “Aria” with the Macedonian singer Toše Proeski.

TOSCA

by Giacomo Puccini

Thursday August 16th 2018, Ancient Theatre @ 9.00pm

Tuesday August 21st 2018, Ancient Theatre @ 9.00pm

Tosca is an opera in three acts by Giacomo Puccini to an Italian libretto by Luigi Illica and Giuseppe Giacosa. It premiered at the Teatro Costanzi in Rome on 14 January 1900. The work, based on Victorien Sardou’s 1887 French-language dramatic play, La Tosca, is a melodramatic piece set in Rome in June 1800, with the Kingdom of Naples’s control of Rome threatened by Napoleon’s invasion of Italy. It contains depictions of torture, murder and suicide, as well as some of Puccini’s best-known lyrical arias, and has inspired memorable performances from many of opera’s leading singers. The dramatic force of Tosca and its characters continues to fascinate both performers and audiences, and the work remains one of the most frequently performed operas.

The performance is a production of  Taormina Opera Stars

Director: Bruno Torrisi
Orchestra: Taormina Opera Stars
Orchestra Conductor: Gianna Fratta
Chorus: Taormina Opera Stars
Chorus Conductor: Gaetano Costa

SYNOPSIS

In the church of S Andrea della Valle, the fugitive Angelotti takes refuge in a private chapel. The painter Cavaradossi returns to the canvas he is painting, a picture of Mary Magdalene, influenced by the features of his beloved Tosca and by a woman he has often seen in the church. The sacristan complains of the trouble Cavaradossi gives him. As he leaves, Angelotti emerges from hiding, explaining that he has escaped from imprisonment in the Castel Sant’Angelo. The voice of Tosca is heard and Angelotti hides again. Tosca is jealous of what she thinks may have been an assignation with another woman but agrees to meet her lover after her evening performance. The church fills for a celebration of a supposed victory over Napoleon and Baron Scarpia and his agents seek for signs of Angelotti, suspicion falling on Cavaradossi as a possible accomplice. Scarpia succeeds now in arousing further jealousy in Tosca, who has returned, showing her a fan found in the chapel, belonging, in fact, to Angelotti’s sister. Scarpia orders his men to follow Tosca, when she leaves, as a victory Te Deum is sung. In Scarpia’s apartment the sound is heard of an entertainment being given below for Queen Caroline, dancing and a performance by Tosca. Cavaradossi has been arrested and is interrogated and, when Tosca comes in, tortured in the next room, to elicit information from her. She betrays Angelotti’s hiding-place at the well in the garden of Cavaradossi’s villa. The painter is to be shot at dawn, but can be saved if Tosca will give in to Scarpia’s demands on her. She pretends to agree and when he has signed a safe-conduct she kills him. In the third act, at Castel Sant’Angelo, Cavaradossi prepares for death, as dawn draws near. Tosca is brought in and, left alone with him, explains how there is to be a mock-execution, after which they can escape together. In the event Scarpia has his revenge. His orders did not countermand the execution and Cavaradossi is shot. When Tosca realises that he is dead, she leaps from the battlements to her own death, while Scarpia’s men draw threateningly near, having discovered their master’s body.

Tosca remains a major work in operatic repertoire, although subject to relentlessly hostile criticism on the grounds of the brutal coarseness of its plot. It is, in fact, dramatically convincing, up to the moment of final irony. Cavaradossi is entrusted with his first moving aria in the opening act, Recondita armonia (Secret harmony), when he contrasts the dark-haired beauty of Tosca with the fair- haired stranger he has seen in the church, both combined in his painting. Cavaradossi’s other great aria comes in the third act, as he prepares for death. In E lucevan le stelle (And the stars shone) he regrets his coming execution and parting from Tosca. The rôle of Tosca has a strong dramatic appeal. Her best known aria is Vissi d’arte (I have lived for art), as she despairs at the predicament that Scarpia has posed for her.

Jul. 27 – Teresa Valéry

teresa-mannino-teatro-massimo

Teresa Valéry

by Teresa Mannino

Teresa Mannino (born 1970) is an Italian comedian, actress and TV presenter. Born in Palermo, Mannino graduated in philosophy and then she moved to Milan, where she enrolled in the Teatro Carcano European Drama School. After several other courses and workshops, she became a stand-up comedian and began appearing in the Canale 5 variety show Zelig. Mannino is active on stage, in films and in many TV commercials.

Teresa Valéry is a passionate and funny read of one of the most famous Italian opera: La Traviata by Giuseppe Verdi, in which the female character is Violetta Valéry.
“We Italians invented the Opera but its comprehension and fruition is difficult, especially for young people” Mannino said.
Teresa Valéry is a theatre play meant for everybody, a perfect first approach to opera.

Design and Direction: Alberto Cavallotti
Arranger and Conductor: Alberto Maniaci
with opera singers and the Orchestra of the Teatro Massimo of Palermo
Music: Giuseppe Verdi
Orchestra of the Teatro Massimo of Palermo
Main actors: Teresa Mannino, Luca Canonici, Maria Francesca Mazzara e Francesco Vultaggio.

TICKETS on boxol.it and ticketone.it
Stalls (Parterre): € 53,00
Gallery: € 44,00
Upper circle (numbered seats): € 36,00
Upper circle (non-numbered seats): € 27,50


Italian description of the event

Il grande amore di Violetta e Alfredo, raccontato da Teresa Mannino, in una rilettura inedita di un grande classico della tradizione lirica italiana.
Sul palco, insieme a lei, l’orchestra di cinquanta elementi del Teatro Massimo di Palermo, diretta dal Maestro Alberto Maniaci con i tre cantanti, Francesca Mazzara, Luca Canonici e Francesco Vultaggio, che interpretano i passi più famosi delle canzoni de la Traviata, interpuntando e arricchendo il racconto e il commento.
Un esperimento, con la regia di Alberto Cavallotti, che nasce da un grande amore per la lirica: “Noi italiani abbiamo inventato l’opera, ma la sua fruizione immediata è difficile, soprattutto per i ragazzi – afferma Teresa Mannino – Basta però vincere la pigrizia, saperne un poco di più per appassionarsi. La Traviata è tra le opere più eseguite in tutto il mondo e rappresenta l’Italia nei suoi aspetti più classici: il bel canto e la passione. Ma la vera protagonista dell’opera è la critica alla morale borghese e al perbenismo. Questo rende quest’opera, anticonformista per l’epoca e tuttora attualissima, potentissima”.
Nel racconto uno spazio dedicato anche alla figura di Giuseppe Verdi, troppo spesso accomunato, secondo Teresa Mannino, all’immagine del “vecchietto con la barba stampato sulla banconota da 1000 Lire. Giuseppe Verdi fu un giovane passionale e trasgressivo, un uomo che amava andare controcorrente, molto amato anche dai suoi contemporanei”.

Noel Gallagher’s High Flying Birds

Stranded on the Earth World Tour

Noel Gallagher, Ancient Theatre, June 19th 2018 @ 9.45pm

Noel Thomas David Gallagher (born 29 May 1967) is an English singer, songwriter and guitarist. He served as the lead guitarist, co-lead vocalist and principal songwriter of the English rock band Oasis which he left in 2009.

Noel Gallagher’s High Flying Birds are an English rock band formed in 2010 as the solo moniker of former Oasis lead guitarist and songwriter Noel Gallagher. The touring band consists of former Oasis guitarist Gem Archer, former Oasis session pianist Mike Rowe, former Oasis drummer Chris Sharrock, and The Zutons bassist Russell Pritchard.
The band has also had a variety of guests contribute to their albums such as the Crouch End Festival Chorus, Amorphous Androgynous and Johnny Marr.

Since his departure from Oasis in August 2009, many speculated that Noel Gallagher might record a solo album. In July 2011, he held a press conference to confirm that this was the case, after denying rumours from his brother Liam Gallagher that he had already heard the tracks featured on it. Later that year, Noel Gallagher released the project’s self-titled debut album. Several singles from the album were released, including “The Death of You and Me”, “If I Had a Gun…”, “AKA… What a Life!”, “Dream On” and “Everybody’s on the Run”. In 2015, Noel Gallagher’s High Flying Birds released their second album, Chasing Yesterday. Their third, Who Built the Moon?, followed in November 2017.
