The Baroque represents the Age of Disorder, in which composers set aside all established knowledge to indulge in “the risky thrill of experimentation,” leaving behind a legacy of music that is alive, unstable, and therefore infinitely modern. The title of the series, “The Future Is Baroque,” stems precisely from this awareness: in the Baroque, we find the origin of all contemporary exploration, the spark of invention, and the freedom of a language in transformation.
Three female voices and a piano bring to life all the facets of love: separation, abandonment, and playfulness. Through Baroque opera arias and 20th-century songs, each section explores a different emotion, creating a dialogue across the centuries between classical and modern composers. A musical portrait in which poetry becomes song and emotion knows no age. Featuring sopranos Letizia Barzaghi, Elisabetta Nessi, and Giorgia Tornatore, with Marco Regazzi at the piano: an evening presented by the Young Artists section of the G. Donizetti Conservatory. The evening begins with a self-guided tour of the palace’s historic halls, followed by a meet-and-greet with the artists on the terrace. Limited seating.
