'In love with music' celebrates Puccini and De Filippo

The concerts of the Igor Stravinsky association resume in June: with the formula 'In Love with Music', aimed at those who are already in love and also at those who may become one.  

Stravinsky, an association from Avellino that has been operating in Campania since 1996, will propose a full calendar of concert events dedicated to Love and some anniversaries of 2024.

In fact, the event will pay homage to the 100 years since the death of Giacomo Puccini, the 40 years since the death of Eduardo De Filippo and the 70 years of Italian Television.

The concerts will be held on the Terrazza degli Artisti, in the Sala delle Arti in Manocalzati and at the Pignatelli della Leonessa Castle in San Martino Valle Caudina.

On June 9th there will be the inauguration of the festival, at 7.45pm, with Puccini's masterpieces and 20th century melodies, inaugurating a program as varied as it is refined. The choice to start with Puccini, a composer capable of touching the most intimate strings of the human soul, was undoubtedly a tribute to Italian tradition, fascinating the audience present with arias of unparalleled beauty.

The strength of the event lies not only in the quality of the performances, but also in the diversification of the programme. In the Innamorati della Musica festival, new talents will also perform alongside international names, encouraging generational change and enhancing the creativity of young people.

The prestigious theatrical names of Mariano Rigillo and Cicci Rossini will be on the bill in September in the final event of the 'Napoli Milionaria' Library project.
The reading entitled 'Adda passà a nuttata' will see the undisputed protagonist of the Edwardian pages Mariano Rigillo accompanied in Rota's music by the tenor Francesco Ciotola, by the soprano Nicoletta Gaglione, with the mime choreographies of Elisabetta Lannaccone, directed by the piano of Nadia Testa.
