Jul. 28 – Il Volo
Il Volo
Ancient Theatre, Saturday 28th July @ 9.30pm
Il Volo (Italian for “The Flight”) is an Italian operatic pop trio, consisting of singers: the baritone Gianluca Ginoble, and two tenors, Piero Barone and Ignazio Boschetto. They describe their music as “popera”(pop-opera). Having won the Sanremo Music Festival 2015, they represented Italy in the Eurovision Song Contest 2015 in Vienna, Austria. They reached third place, but managed to secure a solid first-place victory in the televoting.
Piero Barone (born 24 June 1993 in Naro, Agrigento, Sicily) is a Spinto Tenor demonstrating a range from A2-B4. He has a dramatic sound while still easily reaching higher notes.
Ignazio Boschetto (born 4 October 1994 in Bologna, Emilia-Romagna, to Sicilian parents from Marsala and Petrosino) is a Lyric Tenor with a clear and bright timbre. He has demonstrated a range from G#2-C#5. He has also sung up to C6 in falsetto.
Gianluca Ginoble (born 11 February 1995 in Roseto degli Abruzzi, Abruzzo) is a Lyric Baritone with a range from E2-A4. He has a warm timbre, very easily singing at the top of the baritone range, while also being able to sing very low notes.

Jul. 27 – Teresa Valéry
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.

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”.

Jul. 14 – Vinicio Capossela
ORCÆSTRA Tour
Ancient Theatre, Saturday 14th July 2018 @ 9.30pm
Vinicio Capossela (born 14 December 1965) is an Italian singer-songwriter. His style is strongly influenced by US singer and songwriter Tom Waits (Capossela repeatedly recorded his songs with the help of Waits’ guitarist, Marc Ribot), though it also draws from the traditions of Italian folk music (especially those of Irpinia, the part of Campania where his family moved from in the 1950s). Capossela’s lyrics are highly original and are often inspired by literary sources such as John Fante, Geoffrey Chaucer, Louis-Ferdinand Céline, Oscar Wilde, Samuel Taylor Coleridge and others.
Capossela was born in Hannover (Germany) from Italian parents, and moved very early to Campania (South Italy). He has been living in Milan since 1987.
