Così parlò Monteverdi On-site
Musicaimmagine ItalyVilla Lante al Gianicolo, Passeggiata del Gianicolo, 10 , Roma
2023 marks the 50th anniversary of the death of Gian Francesco Malipiero [Venice 1882-Treviso 1973], composer and scholar, «innovator» and «exhumer», a complex and controversial figure, a perfect 'Navigante del Tempo' according our modern sensibility. Among the numerous initiatives undertaken, the Venetian-Asolan composer curates the Complete Works of Claudio Monteverdi [1567-1643], published in 16 volumes at the Vittoriale degli Italiani, d'Annunzio's autarkic citadel on Lake Garda – then reprinted by Universal Edition (Vienna, 1967) including a Volume XVII 'Appendix'.
The event presents the figure and work of Malipiero, also through the screening of Georg Brintrup's film Poemi asolani (WDR, 1985), and a concert by the Ensemble Seicentonovecento conducted by Flavio Colusso, with madrigals by Monteverdi.

Arnalta Cafè On-site
Fondazione Teatro Fraschini - Centro di Musica Antica Ghislieri ItalyCinema Teatro Politeama, Corso Camillo Benso Cavour, 20, Pavia
Arnalta Café is a 'stand-up comedy' featuring nurses from different 17th century operas, all intent on having their say. Lullabies, lullabies, arias of toilet, arias of complaint, irreverent mockery. Some of the best-loved Baroque composers of all time, such as Monteverdi and Cavalli, are juxtaposed with lesser-known authors with operatic scenes in their first modern performance, which come to light again after more than three hundred years. A series of amusing sketches, but at the same time of great musical merit, centred on what was one of the most̀ beloved recurring characters of seventeenth-century audiences: la nutrice en travesti.
It is a crowded stage: Desba, Dirce, Nerea, Nisbe, Pasquella, Plancina, Rodisbe, Delfa, Filandra, Lenia, Gilde... and of course Arnalta! These elderly girls are quivering with desire to return to the spotlight.
