73rd SEASON OF THE EXPERIMENTAL OPERA THEATRE IN SPOLETO
Caio Melisso Theatre
EINE KLEINE MUSIK: ESPAÑA
Music Preview of the Opera Season
This year, after focusing on France in 2018, the festival will focus on Spain. A series of pieces on music by de Falla, Villa Lobos, Piazzolla and Albeniz, interspersed with the reading of poems by Antonio Machado will be the prologue to the staging of EL RETABLO DE MAESE PEDRO by Manuel de Falla, in the transcription for piano and voices by the author (ed.1934). Mariachiara Grilli will conduct and play the piano, the direction will be in charge of Alessio Pizzech, already known at the Sperimentale. The stage set will be curated by Andrea Stanisci, who will also sign the scenes for Re di Donne and later for Il Barbiere di Siviglia. El retablo de Maese Pedro is rarely staged in Italy and was for the author a way to refer to a national tradition, composed with a strict criterion. The libretto is taken from the original text of Cervantes, lightening the pieces in a suitable way. For the director Pizzech: “Don Quixote will be an artist who confronts with himself and his art. A “madness” conceived together with Stanisci between figurative art, music and theatre”.

Fabrizio Longaroni: his artistic experiences include collaborations with Ennio Morricone, Franco Zeffirelli and Amy Stewart
Gustavo Gasperini: numerous international collaborations, already in the staff of the Teatro San Carlo in Naples and currently engaged with Gino Paoli and the Chamber Orchestra of Perugia.

73rd SEASON OF THE EXPERIMENTAL OPERA THEATRE IN SPOLETO
Caio Melisso Theatre
RE DI DONNE (WOMEN’S KING)
Absolute first execution
Chamber opera in five scenes for 4 singers, instrumental and electronic ensemble to a libretto by Cristina Battocletti and music by John Palmer.
The opera was specially commissioned by the Teatro Lirico Sperimentale of Spoleto.
“The theme is feminicide, which is explored within a fatal triangle that will lead to the final tragedy. The characters’ different psychological aspects are treated in a musical dialectic where the singers’ dialogues are also the instruments’ dialogues. Word and sound become two aspects of the same human dimension” (John Palmer). Moreover, says director Pizzech: “The scenic design conceived with Stanisci is based on the body not as an element of sacredness, not as an important element of the individual, but as “the image”, which determines violent impulses and intentions: possess without love. Costumes by Clelia De Angelis.

73rd SEASON OF THE EXPERIMENTAL OPERA THEATRE IN SPOLETO
Caio Melisso Theatre
RE DI DONNE (WOMEN’S KING)
Absolute first execution
Chamber opera in five scenes for 4 singers, instrumental and electronic ensemble to a libretto by Cristina Battocletti and music by John Palmer.
The opera was specially commissioned by the Experimental Opera Theatre in Spoleto.
“The theme is feminicide, which is explored within a fatal triangle that will lead to the final tragedy. The characters’ different psychological aspects are treated in a musical dialectic where the singers’ dialogues are also the instruments’ dialogues. Word and sound become two aspects of the same human dimension” (John Palmer). Moreover, says director Pizzech: “The scenic design conceived with Stanisci is based on the body not as an element of sacredness, not as an important element of the individual, but as “the image”, which determines violent impulses and intentions: possess without love. Costumes by Clelia De Angelis.

Maria Rosaria Omaggio reads Dante, Petrarch and Boccaccio’s love poems accompanied by fourteenth-century music performed by the Ensemble Compendium Musicum
The Mystery of Love: Laura, Beatrice and Fiammetta Rocca Albornoz. Sunday, September 8th. at 17.00
“The Mystery of Love: Laura, Beatrice and Fiammetta”, starring Maria Rosaria Omaggio, is a show of medieval music – performed with faithful copies of instruments of the time – and poems/songs chosen and recited by Maria Rosaria Omaggio. The event, scheduled at the Rocca Albornoz on Sunday 8 September, is scheduled at 17.00.
“The Mystery of Love: Laura, Beatrice and Fiammetta” celebrates those poets and writers who taught us to love; above all, those fathers of Italian language who have established the fundamental references of human sensitivity: Petrarch, Alighieri and Boccaccio. Music and ancient love songs recovered from the medieval tradition and performed by the Ensemble Compendium Musicum to create the ideal atmosphere of a journey that will culminate in the verses dedicated by the three Master poets to perfect love, which is the one dedicated to the Madonna.
The instruments presented, faithful copies of fourteenth-century iconography, range from plucked strings, rubbed strings, wind instruments, percussions, to voice, the Instrument par excellence. The musical part is entrusted to the Ensemble Compendium Musicum – composed of Valeria Puletti (Voice, Harp and Vielle) and Daniele Bernardini (Bagpipes, Straight Flutes, Tabor-Pipe, Double Flute, Percussion) – who will provide, the artists explain, “the soundtrack to the deep and sacred voice of Maria Rosaria Omaggio proposing the most evocative pages of the 14th century manuscripts through an emotional journey with unusual sounds. The musical program will retrace poetic and literary events through a mixture of sacred, profane, contrapuntal and monodic pieces, offering a wide, majestic and sometimes irreverent, timbral cross-section.
Laura and Beatrice embody the conflict that can be internal to each soul: the conflict between Petrarch’s carnal passion and Dante’s divine love. Boccaccio gives voice directly to woman character: Fiammetta is no longer an “object of love” told by a male voice, but she is a talking subject, an abandoned and desperate lover who seeks compassion from other women. Boccaccio’s woman – from a remote and unreachable idol and object of worship, as she was in the courteous tradition – becomes either the object of a male desire that must legitimately be realized, or a subject of legitimate carnal desire.

Bruno Ceccobelli – MormoriiMarmorei (Marble Murmuring)
Palazzo Collicola – Noble Apartment
On Friday 13 September, the opening of Scolpire la scultura della vita (Sculpting the Sculpture of Life) curated by Artistic Director Marco Tonelli is scheduled at Palazzo Collicola, at 17.30.
Besides ancient art, the museum of Palazzo Collicola hosts the “G. Carandente” Modern Art Gallery and the Noble Apartment’s Picture Gallery. MormoriiMarmorei is the exhibition of stone and marble sculptures by Bruno Ceccobelli that will end on September 29.
Starting from this occasion, the artist will explain the reasons of his making, living and thinking sculpture as a historical and private fact, lanked by the exhibition curator Marco Tonelli and by art historian and expert of ancient art Lorenzo Principi – Marignoli di Montecorona Foundation.
The occasion will be useful to identify the threads that tie the times of ancient and contemporary art in a single existential flow, in which sculpture does not arise as just a simple language or material tecnique, but as an affirmation of subjectivity and thought that goes beyond the forms to become concrete history, a perspective of a further future.
At 19.30, the artist himself will lead a visit to his own MormoriiMarmorei exhibition in the frame of the guided tour series Mezz’ora dopo la chiusura.
Bruno Ceccobelli was born on September 2, 1952 in Montecastello di Vibio (PG). He lives and works in Todi.
Artistically, he owes much to Toti Scialoja, with whom he graduated at the Academy of Fine Arts in Rome, completing his eclectic youth formation studying Zen and Taoism.
A member of the “Nuova scuola romana” group of artists in the late 1970s, he initially follows a conceptual research, to head out then toward a pictorial abstraction that would land on a ground of true spiritual symbolism.
He held personal exhibitions at the Galleria Ferranti in Roma, Yvon Lambert in Paris, Salvatore Ala, Sperone Westwater and Jack Shainman in New York, Akira Ikeda in Nagoya, Studio Marconi in Milan, L’Attico in Rome and was featured in a number of collective exhibitions at home and abroad, such as the Quadriennale in Rome two editions of the Venice Biennale; other exhibitions took place in ancient archaeological and Renaissance spaces such as Villa Adriana in Tivoli, the Museo Nazionale Classense and Basilica di Sant’Apollinare in Classe in Ravenna, the Church of Santa Maria sopra Minerva, the Palazzo Podestarile in Montelupo Fiorentino and at the Caffè Florian in Venice. In 2007 he performed a sugggestive intervention for the Fondazione Volume di Roma called Longa marcia post-temporale (Post-temporal Long March) while in 2018 he was invited by Barbara Rose to join the collective exhibition Painting After Post-Modernism at the Reggia di Caserta. He authored thick essays on art and philosophy, including Color bellezza, Tempo senza tempo della pittura and Gratiaplena: economia della grazia.

Free admission
A man falls from the fourth floor, the only choice he has left to stop suffering. As he falls he expresses his last wish. His body hangs a few inches above the ground. A thread of light descends from above, he clings to it and tries to escape from the dark well that has swallowed him: depression. Aldo Amedei is a successful journalist who has lost everything, even his own dreams. The past is regret, the present is populated by monsters and ghosts, but he tries to follow that thread, that mad desire that had kept him alive: running the New York marathon. He doesn’t even know why he expressed it, he who takes the car just to cover one hundred meters. He begins to run like a fugitive hunted by his nightmares. He falls and gets up again. He falls again and gets back on his feet, and every time it hurts more and more. But he doesn’t give up. For love and with the love of Teresa, his young companion. Spitting his soul out along streets full of fatigue, angels and vultures and returning to life, to passion, to dreams with the help of a traveling doctor, an unexpected coach and a crazier grandson than he. Becoming another one, imprinting the others in his own heart. Between laughter, surprises and new emotions. But his enemies do not give up, they pursue him, determined to bring him back to the well. Everything comes back into play, in the last challenge, between life and death: 42 kilometers and 195 meters. Against the wind and everything. From Hell to Central Park.
Roberto Di Sante is a journalist who works for Il Messaggero. Twice the winner of the Premio Nazionale Cronista in 1994 and 1997, he also authored theatre works, including his “Tassinar in Love”, that has been staged for four seasons in Rome.
