Fairy tales are full of enchanted castles where beautiful princesses live, surrounded by winged horses, fairy godmothers and pumpkin carriages. But there is also a wicked witch who locks two little children in a cage, a wolf who swallows a nice old lady whole, and a starving little match girl who freezes to death. Fairy tales can describe wonderful worlds as well as terrible, frightening and mysterious ones.
As in one of his most thrilling investigations, the master of Italian noir, Carlo Lucarelli, takes us on a musical journey through the dark heart of fairy tales, which becomes an exploration of the human soul and of our deepest fears to be faced and conquered in order to live happily ever after.

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.

Un rave classico
Orchestra Notturna Clandestina
Enrico Melozzi conductor
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.

immagini di Roberto Masotti
Per bussola, nell’esplorare le terre incognite della musica – là dove la musica accadeva o stava per accadere – aveva scelto la macchina fotografica; strumento fra gli strumenti, per mescolarsi ai nomadi del suono lungo un itinerario che era un continuo attraversamento di frontiere. E allora Terre incognite. Concerto per Roberto è un invito al viaggio: il Teatro Alighieri di Ravenna accoglie tanti di quei musicisti che Roberto Masotti, scomparso lo scorso maggio, ha incontrato, conosciuto, ascoltato, fotografato.
Oltre 30 artisti si alterneranno in scena nella città natale di Roberto, straordinario “fotografo della musica” e testimone di una meravigliosa stagione di creatività: sei ore di concerto, dal jazz d’avanguardia, soprattutto europeo ma anche d’oltreoceano, al sound ECM, etichetta discografica alla quale è stato legato da una collaborazione ultradecennale, alle tante altre musiche di oggi, incluse il minimalismo e la sperimentazione elettronica, passando per le contaminazioni fra suoni e l’evocazione dei paesaggi naturali al centro di tante sue fotografie. Né mancheranno testimonianze della sua attività nella videoarte e nella scrittura, anche poetica, quest’ultima poco nota al pubblico.
Bio-Economy Days
Teatro Alighieri | Disponibile fino al 31 dicembre 2022
Bio-Economy Days
organised by Cluster Spring, Assobiotec, Federchimica, Fondazione Raul Gardini, Fondazione Resoil, Apre, Fva, Novamont
in collaboration with Ravenna Festival
with the support of Fondazione Impact, Transition2bio, Molino Spadoni and the patronage of the Comune di Ravenna
The national Bio-Economy Day returns to Ravenna, and doubles in length to explore the issues underpinning ecological transition and the fight to climate change. Intended as the economy that uses renewable biological sources as raw materials for industrial, energy, food and feed production, in 2020 the Italian bio-economy was worth 317 billion euros, and employed around 2 million people. The issues of this meta-sector, which proved to be resilient during the pandemic, and which forms the basis for the European Green New Deal, will be discussed by key stakeholders from the world of industry, agriculture and finance. This will also be an opportunity to discuss sustainable development, the UN 2030 Agenda and green jobs, and to award the schools that took part in the Bio-economy4You competition.
