At the Irpino Museum, Manara's exhibition dedicated to Mozart's work. With Comicon, an exhibition of sketches, scenes and costumes.
"Milo Manara - Cosi fan tutte. The Metamorphoses of Love, an exhibition of sketches for the sets and costumes of Mozart's opera" is the new exhibition opening at the Irpino Museum in Avellino on January 13th.
The exhibition was created in collaboration with Comicon and will bring Manara's work to the Monumental Complex of the Bourbon Prison until March 9th, during the opera season of the Teatro Pergolesi in Jesi, dedicated to "Così fan tutte," the opera by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart.
A unique and original collection featuring costume and set designs reimagined from the perspective of Milo Manara, who designed the sets and costumes, crafting an ancient, two-dimensional scenography of wings, backdrops, pocket doors, and small pieces of theatrical machinery. Maestro Manara's playful, colorful, and vaguely licentious touch animates the wings, tulle curtain, and proscenium arch with mythological settings and characters: satyrs, wings, and cupids, but also Venus, Apollo, Minerva, and Mercury, and the loves of Jupiter in his various guises, serve as frescoes in Fiordiligi and Dorabella's home, evoking the romantic entanglements between the opera's characters, characterized by an elegant, enigmatic, and timeless sensuality.

The drawings on display hark back to the pictorial tendencies of a stylized eighteenth-century, with nuances of ivory, pink, and blue, becoming an invitation to enter the enchanted world of Mozart's opera, making the visitor feel like a privileged spectator within the same setting, giving him the sensation of interacting with the work itself.
The exhibition will also be enriched by nine illustrations created by Manara himself on the occasion of the 250th anniversary of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart's first concert in Italy.
The exhibition will be open until March 9th from Tuesday to Saturday from 9am to 13pm and from 16pm to 19pm.
