The protagonists are singing and dancing. We begin with Maria Grazia Schiavo, the world-famous Neapolitan soprano, in a program dedicated to the women protagonists of Mozart's operas, with Maurizio Iaccarino on the piano. This is followed by two monographs dedicated to two extraordinary personalities of singers of the early seventeenth century: Barbara Strozzi, scandalous in her artistic freedom in the Venice of the literary academies, with the voice of Angela Luglio and the archlute of Ugo Di Giovanni; and then Giulio Caccini, the father of accompanied monody and author of the collection Le nuove Musiche, whose vocal gems are interpreted by the now consolidated duo of Ester Facchini (voice) and Franco Pavan (guitar).
The song is also declined in the modalities of the sacred, in this case through the specific lens of observation of Holy Week in Naples between the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, with music by Nola, Prota and Gallo, directed by Rosario Totaro at the head of his vocal and instrumental group Mysterium Vocis. Moving on to dance and instrumental music, Luigi Trivisano's concert illustrates well three centuries of keyboard tradition in the Iberian peninsula, from Antonio de Cabezón to the shocking arrival of the Neapolitan Domenico Scarlatti, adopted in that land and who influenced composers such as Seixas and Soler.
The last event is organized within the framework of the European network of ancient music REMA, in which the Cappella Neapolitana is included, with the invitation extended to the young French ensemble “Into the Winds”, for the first time in Southern Italy: rare compositions for consort of wind instruments will be performed, from the late Middle Ages to the full European Renaissance, explicitly referring to the world of court and social dance.
