Seventh evening for "Autumn in music 2021", a cycle of events at the Teatro Lirico di Cagliari for the months of October, November and December and which replaces the shows scheduled as part of the concert season and the opera and ballet season modified for the Covid emergency.
On stage in a double concert - Friday 26 November at 8.30 pm and Saturday 27 November at 7 pm - the director Diego Dini Ciacci, one of the best oboists on the international scene, is making his long-awaited debut in Cagliari at the helm of the Orchestra and Chorus of the Teatro Lirico.
It is a new composition commissioned by the Teatro Lirico, in absolute first performance, signed by Sergio Rendine, one of the most famous, prolific and versatile contemporary composers on his return to Cagliari after a successful performance in 2012.
Lucilla Galeazzi performs as solo voice, while the choir master is Giovanni Andreoli. Two of the most famous and beloved pages of nineteenth-century symphonism follow.
The musical program therefore includes the performance of: Salve Regina (Naviganti di stelle), for natural female voice, chorus and orchestra by Sergio Rendine (new composition commissioned by the Teatro Lirico di Cagliari - first performance); Eighth Symphony in F major op. 93 by Ludwig van Beethoven; Third Symphony in A minor "Scottish" op. 56 by Felix Mendelssohn-Bartholdy.
Salve Regina (Naviganti di stelle) by Sergio Rendine is a work for natural female voice, choir and orchestra that makes use of the liturgical text in Latin of the "Salve Regina", in fact, punctuated by the lines of a poem written for the occasion by Paolo Dossena, one of the myths of Italian song, author, publisher, producer and record company of great international successes. Furthermore, in a surprising moment of the piece, Sergio Rendine uses the popular Campania text of "God will save you Mary" in the macaronic language which has its roots in the popular memory of the composer. The entire piece, highly expressive and symbolic, takes place between linguistic and emotional alternations, as required by the very personal style of the composer. In the finale, everyone, even the orchestral spelling, will converge, as does the prayer, in a single word: "Mary".
The show has a total duration of approximately 90 minutes, including the intermission.
The Teatro Lirico di Cagliari has reopened the hall and all the foyers entirely to the public and ensures a full return to normality, even if, obviously, it will be necessary to continue to scrupulously comply with the hygienic-sanitary rules that provide for temperature control and compulsory hand sanitation upon entering the hall, the compulsory use of masks (even during shows, once you have reached your seat), the green pass and the inevitable interpersonal distancing (especially during breaks, both in the hall and during foyer).
"Autumn in Music 2021" offers 30 evenings of shows (until December 23), divided into 3 symphonic-choral concerts and 2 symphonic concerts (all repeated the following day), 1 very popular ballet (7 performances) and 2 operas (7 recite), unusual but certainly welcome titles that are performed in two new productions of the Teatro Lirico di Cagliari.
