AIDA 2026 AIDA the music dances in the sand reduction of Giuseppe Verdi's Opera for ensemble, narrator and lights The monumental opera AIDA, in the musical version of the Baraccano Orchestra, does not require spectacular forcing on stage, nor colossal spaces or scenographic grandeur. Here even the elephants could stop marching, leaving space, amazed and moved, to the human drama between losers and winners, in war and in love. We find the suffocating gigantism desired by Giuseppe Verdi and the overwhelming effect on the soul of the young protagonists, in the original reduction and arrangement for instrumental ensemble with ten real parts, in the impetuous style of the director Giambattista Giocoli, in the verses spoken and whispered by Sandra Cavallini, in the desired metric irregularity of Antonio Ghislanzoni's libretto. L yrical accents, triumphal traits and sudden suspensions reveal the delicate depths of the work. A reduction and arrangement that will try, even without the singers, to restore the dramaturgy and symphonic power of this Opera and to convey its profound intimacy of feelings and musicality, in addition to the majestic and grandiose moments inspired by the magnificence of Egyptian civilization. Contrary to the predominant tradition, which made it famous mainly for the magnificence of the scenography, we therefore want to present an innovative reading, focused on the profound intimacy of feelings and reflections on social dynamics.

Bando Atelier Opera Voi Il Barbiere a Fumetti was born from a musical idea: Vincenzo Gambaro's suite on the music of Rossini's Opera, arranged for wind orchestra. In this musical version, Maestro Giocoli decided to combine the intricate story of Rosina , told by the unpublished drawings of the Japanese mangaka Tsukishiro Yūko. Two apparently distant languages, united however by the story and the expressiveness. The opera plunges into the contemporaneity of Japanese comics, the immediacy of the visual art is intertwined with the sound, giving back a new and original version of the work that can also speak to a young and contemporary audience. The new arrangements that ATTI SONORI has produced for chamber orchestra have given life to a new score for 10 real parts , in which the work is stripped of the recitative parts and stages only the music, while the comics are projected onto a backdrop. scenographic and tell the story through the suggestion of the images.
