In this musical version, Maestro Giocoli decided to combine the intricate story of Rosina , told by the unpublished drawings of the Japanese mangaka Tsukishiro Yūko.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.

ALL'OPERA! symphonies and interludes taken from the most famous Operas of the Italian tradition The concert includes the performance, with original arrangements for Chamber Orchestra, of symphonies, preludes and interludes taken from the most famous Operas of the Italian tradition. From Bellini's Norma to Verdi's Forza del Destino , passing from Puccini's Manon Lescaut to the famous opening symphony of Rossini's Barbiere di Siviglia and again to the interludes of Mascagni's Cavalleria Rusticana and Leoncavallo's Pagliacci , and other popular interludes and symphonies of the Italian tradition. The Baraccano Orchestra will be involved in this project in a chamber formation with 8 orchestral players with real parts. The orchestral arrangements are by Lorenzo Meo. LA MASCHERA- CONFERENZA/LABORATORIO seminario teorico- pratico di approfondimento sulla maschera a cura dell’attore e regista Marco Sgrosso. Il linguaggio della maschera, il corpo che parla. Un approfondimento della tradizione della commedia dell’arte, attraverso la dimostrazione pratica della caratterizzazione del personaggio, con l’accentuazione dei suoi pregi e dei suoi difetti, sfruttando l’oggetto maschera. Con la maschera tutti i codici di comunicaizone vengono sovvertiti ed è il corpo che diventa il principale mezzo espressivo. LA MUSICA- PROVE APERTE “A LEGGIO” condotte dal M° Giambattista Giocoli L’Orchestra del Baraccano apre le porte al pubblico, offrendo la possiblità di assistere alle proprie prove, con una particolare modalità: stando seduti al fianco dei musicisti. Un’immersione nella musica a tutto tondo, con la possibilità di stare “dentro la musica”, seguire la concertazione del Direttore e percepire le dinamiche interne ad un’orchestra. CONCERTO TEATRALE La musica dal Conservatorio di Napoli e le commedie del 1700 della Biblioteca Nazionale di Napoli con protagonista Pulcinella, furono gli elementi che stimolarono la creazione ad Igor Stravinskij delle musiche del balletto Pulcinella (1919-1920), ispirato all’omonima opera di Pergolesi , musicista tra gli esponenti più importanti della Scuola Musicale Napoletana. Negli stessi anni Ottorino Respighi , grande appassionato di musica antica, arrangiava le Antiche Arie e Danze per liuto, una raccolta di danze popolari del ‘500 e del ‘600 e il pensiero va immediatamente all’epoca della nascita della commedia dell’arte , alla maschera e dunque al nostro Pulcinella . Il concerto teatrale PULCINELLA all’improvviso! comprende le musiche di Respighi, nella versione originale per ensemble e direttore e il Pulcinella di I. Stravinskij, anche queste arrangiate per ensemble . PULCINELLA, TRA CIELO E INFERNO Pigro, volubile e incostante, furbo ma anche stupido, intrigante, goloso e bugiardo, allegro e funereo, rudemente maschio ma intriso di femminilità, angelo e demonio, bonario e crudele, rassegnato e ostinato, comico e tragico, infedele, affamato e disperato, infiniti sono gli appellativi che si addicono a questa maschera straordinaria, sospesa tra il bianco candido dell’abito e il nero minaccioso del volto. Pulcinella, figlio della Luna e della Notte, originario di Acerra e inventato agli albori del Seicento dal famoso attore Silvio Fiorillo, che forse si ispirò al contadino Puccio D’Aniello da cui forse deriva il nome. La maschera di Pulcinella possiede una caratura inquietante e misteriosa, collegata all’uovo da cui si affaccia alla vita il ‘pulicinello’. È la dimensione più profonda e primordiale che ci interessa esplorare nel lavoro in maschera, che dai tempi più antichi svela e rivela le inquietudini, le fragilità e il bisogno vitale di libertà dell’uomo contemporaneo.

BURATTINGEGNO November 24, 9.30 am STRAY' (HARD-SIDED) A show on the value of four-legged friendship . "Sure, but who tells you that he likes to have someone pull his tail, that he forgets to take him to the garden or he forgets the his dinner? The other day your mother told you to take Birillo out and you replied that you didn't have time because you had to finish watching cartoons ... " "But it was true!" “Very well, then let's start right from the day when Giovanna wants to go out in the garden and her owner Dalmata has no intention of moving from her kennel where she is cheerfully nibbling a bone. If you want to find out how this story ends, you have to go ahead " RandaGiò - a muzzle for a heart ”is a show that speaks to the sensitivity of children, explaining how cruel a man can be who decides to mistreat or abandon a four-legged friend on the street. What does a dog think when it loses its owner? And what does a human cub feel when the situation is reversed and he finds himself alone in a world of selfish and enemy dogs? A relationship is built by weaving threads of patience marked by the passage of time, mistreating a four-legged friend until you get to abandon it means finding yourself alone struggling with your own selfishness. But Giò's grandparents know all this well and, in telling their story, they will accompany it to make the value of respect for all our four-legged friends shine again. Written and directed by Stefano Antonini with Anna Pancaldi and Marco Soccol

September 6, 9.15 pm SOUND ACTS, Jewish Museum of Bologna Goethe-Zentrum, Embassy of the Czech Republic Cultural Association Lucerne, Czech Center Rome in coproduzione con Sementerie Artistiche KAFKA: LETTERS TO MILENA Kafka in the time of the Corona virus! It already seems like a mockery in full Kafkesko style. And instead no. It is the reality. This is what happened to us and what is going to happen to you who are finally sitting again, finally together again in the same space, at the same time and in front of the same story shared with us actors and musicians. The story could only be a love story. Fragile and cruel, impossible and eternal as only Kafka can imagine and experience it. These letters to Milena are a continuous game of hiding and revealing oneself by vague allusions. Except that Milena is too intelligent, persevering and sensitive to play along. Here the two lovers push themselves to reveal themselves, to get naked as it had never happened to both of them. All in a time, which is full of dark omens and radical and nefarious changes. The Europe that trembles under their feet turns black, everything falters: the order of things; the knowledge acquired up to that point; and finally their love too. Kafka - irreducible to life - is the only one whose letters we read; we can only imagine Milena's answers, intuit them and it would be interesting to invent them from scratch. I chose to follow a chronological order, yes, but in reverse: that is, from the end to the beginning of their story. A time that is therefore configured simultaneously as a fable and as an omen over which history hangs, pregnant with destruction. The truth emerges only between the lines and at the end of their correspondence. It emerges almost from exhaustion. By reversing time, we proceed backwards towards an obscure origin which in Kafka's letters borders and is always confused with the literary invention that envelops life and the tenuous bond between people in mystery. The background of these letters is a rugged and sublime natural landscape like the circle of sharp rocks that surrounds Merano, where Kafka was on vacation. A wooden tongue separates the spectators, as if it were a bridge thrown over the abyss or a raft on which to drift in life. The only island of certainty, the music, suspended like a mirage, on the stage. In this time of covid, in which everything needs to be rethought: from the relationship with the public and with the stories that we have to bring to the stage: this painful story of an epistolary love seems to me a good omen to radically rethink our way of being inside. the stories we tell. And you, do you write love letters? I thank the Jewish Museum and the Goethe-Zentrum of Bologna with whom I have been collaborating for years for asking me to participate in this new adventure by sharing the stage with the musicians of the Teatro del Baraccano. This sharing of spaces and intentions has been what I have been passionate about for years, especially when, as in this case, it is used to tell a story. The music chosen by the director Giambattista Giocoli of the Teatro del Baraccano for Kafka is by Hindemith and Janacek, works very much in line with the fragility of this story.

In 1917 Respighi created the First Suite , in 1923 the Second Suite , in 1931 the Third Suite . His wife Elsa collected and rearranged them all in 1937. In our original arrangement the eight real parts that make up the ensemble try to reproduce all the orchestral colors conceived by Respighi, with the aim of creating a fascinating synthesis between ensuring the presence of fundamental instruments for Respighi, such as the harp and the harpsichord, and the search for a new and modern sound with the inclusion of accordion and bass tuba.

November 16, hours 20.30 November 17, 5 pm THREE OF TWO or those who decided to cooperate A modern-day lady in the aisles of a supermarket, a farmhand and an embroiderer, a noblewoman, a braid, staged through a minimal transformism, evoke real events of solidarity, between mutual aid and cooperation. Experiences that already from the second half of the 19th century arise from the desire to join a collective project of civil exchange, from the desire for knowledge and the need for economy and work to remain places of the human. The transversality of the phenomenon is astonishing. The tragicomic dynamic between humanity and market imperatives is essential. Intense interpretation, minimal context, a journey between contemporary and recent history. Protagonist on stage Sandra Cavallini, a lot of energy, subtle unique and very personal modulations of voice, movement. Every moment lights up the face with new vibrations that intensify the contrasts between lights and shadows on a stage that is not there. It is no longer there because it disappears and is canceled when the emotions and the history of the people are at the center. A cultured and ironic staging, the story of those who fight against any standardization. The theater is that of life and history.

21 and 22 April, 9 pm THE MOST WILD THIRST, THE MOST WILD HUNGER musical monologue on the Resistance The show is a "choral monologue". Roberto Mercadin i, alone on stage, evokes a glowing multitude of characters and stories. Flashes tragic or hilarious, heroic or ridiculous, tender or merciless. The incredible story of the drunkard from Roversano or the poignant story of the unnamed German. Because the Resistance and what followed, the origin and foundation of our Republic, was a dizzying tangle of different and often extreme things. Thus the eyes see the purest light, the darkest darkness. The title mentions Fr Celan, a deported Jewish poet, but also recalls the Gospel of Matthew: “Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for justice”. Here, the partisans had, perhaps, "the wildest hunger, the wildest thirst". by and with Roberto Mercadini and with Guido Sodo guitars and vocals Carlo Loiodice accordion Roberto Bartoli contrabass Ticket 20 € (full), 15 € (reduced) Buy tickets Roberto Mercadini Guido Sodo Carlo Loiodice Roberto Bartoli ROBERTO MERCADINI Born in Cesena in 1978.
