Pupi Avati’s cinema is rooted in familiar places, 20th-century moods, genuine emotions, unspoken feelings, castrating shyness and surprising horrors. It balances the reassuring with the unexpected, always giving music an important role to play. Perhaps because jazz was the first muse of the Bolognese maestro, whose filmography includes titles such as Jazz Band, Dancing Paradise and Bix, testimony to a passion that led him to cross paths with the extraordinary talent of Lucio Dalla. But Avati’s career has also been marked by long-standing collaborations with musicians and composers such as Henghel Gualdi, Amedeo Tommasi and Riz Ortolani, other protagonists of crucial periods in Italian music.

Sensitive and sensual women, all strong and vital, often hopelessly committed to self-sacrifice: a female kaleidoscope emerges from the catalogue of Giacomo Puccini’s operas. In each title, the personality of a different heroine unfolds as she meets the fate that the Maestro and his librettists have devised for her. These captivating stories now come to life through the narration of a talented actress, Laura Morante: Tosca, charming, haughty and jealous, ready to take extreme measures against the man who tried to violate her dignity; the mysterious Turandot, a prisoner of her own emotions, denying herself the joys of love; Manon, torn between conflicting feelings, from the most contagious joy to obscure vulnerability; and finally the fragile Butterfly, the victim of an unrealistic dream. Their characters and personalities are, of course, enhanced by Puccini’s music.

Impetuous, electric and intensely romantic, FASK combine the energy and distortion of rock with the most poetic sentimentality. They tell of everyday life, of horizons that reach far beyond the walls of their “childhood bedroom” to embrace the beauty of their hometown, Perugia. Relying uniquely on the support of their fans, FASK have conquered the general public, from concerts in small provincial clubs to sold-out tours in large arenas. Now, for the first time, their ballads – collected in a long series of albums, the latest of which, È già domani, was followed by a single featuring Ligabue, Il tempo è una bugia – are presented in sumptuous arrangements by the Corelli Orchestra, conducted by an experienced maestro such as Carmelo Patti.

Not only is Laurie Anderson one of the least easily pigeonholed musicians of all time, but, as an artist, she pushes the boundaries of all the expressive media she tackles, revealing their unfathomable potential and implementing new solutions and combinations. From sound poetry to video-scenic experimentation, from Fluxus performances to hit parades (O Superman was the least predictable hit of the 1980s), for this new adventure Laurie Anderson will play material old and new strarting from her debut albumBig Science (1982), a successful minimalist synthesis of Steve Reich and Robert Ashley. Its clever combination of avant-garde theatre and pop music soon became a milestone in a dazzling musical experience, concocted with a group of great veterans of New York’s downtown scene.
special guests Niccolò Fabi, Giovanni Sollima and others
Talking about raves and classical music sounds like a contradiction in terms, but when it comes to the eclectic conductor and multi-instrumentalist Enrico Melozzi, anything is possible. At the head of a mega-group made up of his own Orchestra Notturna Clandestina (a symphonic group featuring exceptional international soloists from a variety of musical backgrounds), some classical ensembles selected through a public call, and special guest Niccolò Fabi, whom he recently accompanied in a concert at the Arena di Verona, Melozzi, known to Ravenna Festival audiences as the leader of the 100 Cellos, will be hosting a long “classical rave”, an all-night marathon from dusk to dawn, with the aim of popularising Bach, Mozart and Beethoven, who are perhaps not too far removed from the tastes of the young.
As the title suggests, the concept of “circularity” is the inspiration for a new production by Classica Orchestra Afrobeat, the histrionic chamber ensemble conducted by Marco Zanotti, joined for this debut by the Mutoid Waste Company, a collective born in England in the 1980s but long since settled in Mutonia, near Santarcangelo di Romagna. Thus, with a group that combines the Baroque with the contemporary, and proposing scenarios with a strong visual and sonic impact, they will attempt a representation of our near future, when humanity will finally look upwards to a more dignified and sustainable life. To provoke an in-depth reflection on coexistence in an environment where time and life are not straight lines, but endless, spiralling Circles.

Il Trebbo in musica 2.3
Qualche estate fa Life, poetry and music of Franco Califano
with Claudia Gerini and Solis String Quartet
script and text Stefano Valanzuolo songs by Franco Califano rearranged by Antonio Di Francia direction Massimiliano Vado
production IMARTS – International Music and Arts
with the contribution of Cooperativa Bagnini Cervia
The artistic story of Franco Califano has always been deliberately intertwined with his human story, so much so that his personality has often overshadowed the author of so many hits. Qualche estate fa is now attempting to rebalance these two dimensions, using some of his hits as the starting point for the narrative of the author’s life. In order to avoid the temptation of reproducing the stereotype of the womaniser, and to prevent a risky comparison with the original, the narrative is presented from the female point of view. Thus, nine scenes are narrated by different women, mostly fictional characters, who tell stories related to the reality of Califano, the man and the artist.
Each scene culminates in a song, making music the caption of the story.

We will never know exactly what the relationship is between Kublai Khan’s maps and the cities bearing women’s names described by Marco Polo: the narrative unfolds precisely in the impossible reconciliation of the secret reasons of the narrator’s voice and the inscrutable ones of the listener. And what we learn about these cities always brings us back to the labyrinthine essence of each place and the ambiguity of each story. Thus, among the “invisible cities” there are some where it is not clear whether an object is a thing or a sign, some where the enthusiasm for novelty is threatened by dangerous piles of rubbish from a past life, some that were left unfinished and some that are already in ruins. Sergio Rubini takes on the task of unravelling this dialogue, carving a path through Calvino’s cities, supported by the jazzy echoes of Michele Fazio’s piano.
