20th Rovereto International Mozart Festival |
|
For its second weekend, the
Mozart Festival has planned the following events: |
|
| Friday 5th October | At 8 p.m. in the Rosmini Theatre
in Rovereto, students from the "A. Rosmini" High School will
stage a performance of "Don Giovanni at the Crossroads", a play
loosely based on "La bottega del caffè" and "La
Locandiera" by Carlo Goldoni (directed by Danilo Faravelli). The
show has a dual objective: to allow the young performers to enjoy the
same dignity as the internationally famous artists taking part in the
Festival and to bring young people into contact with the world of classical
music. |
| Saturday 6th October | At 11 a.m. in the Palazzo de Pizzini at Ala, the Marco Rogliano and Andrea Dindo Duo will perform music by Beethoven, Mozart, Liszt and the contemporary Trentino composer Carlo Galante. At 5 p.m. the Palazzo Fedrigotti in Rovereto will host "The Conversation", a melologue (i.e. a dialogue with musical accompaniment) featuring Ivana Monti as the narrator and the Trio Aedon on the instruments. Words and music by Fabrizio Festa. At 9 p.m. a major symphony concert at the Teatro Sociale, where the "Arturo Toscanini” Philharmonic Orchestra, conducted by Massimo Mazza, will perform music by Mozart and the winning pieces from the Bologna "2nd August” International Composition Competition. |
| Sunday 7th October | At 11 a.m. in the Trento Philharmonic
Hall, the Hector Moreno and Norberto Capelli Piano Duo will perform some
adaptations of Mozart’s music by composers such as Grieg, Liszt
and Busoni, as well as the world premiere of "Transfigurations on
Mozart’s Don Giovanni" specially composed for the Rovereto
Festival by Maurizio Agostini.
At 5 p.m. the Festival will end with the screening of "Don Giovanni", directed by Peter Sellars, in the Mart Conference Room. Entry is free. |
