Article Key Points
A High Quality Start with Roberta Invernizzi
The first event will feature soprano Roberta Invernizzi, a renowned interpreter of the Baroque repertoire, gifted with excellent technique and remarkable expressive intensity. The artist will perform a program entirely dedicated to Claudio Monteverdi, highlighting both the sacred and profane repertoire. Invernizzi will be accompanied by Patrizia Varone on harpsichord and organ, and Ugo Di Giovanni on the theorbo. This trio of musicians began their careers under the guidance of Antonio Florio and is reunited for this special occasion.
The Unusual Proposals of the Festival
This year too, the festival aims to bring to the heart of the historic center of Naples, an offer of great charm with unusual performances and premieres of music from the past. This festival represents a sonic journey through the works of Monteverdi and other composers of Baroque music, offering the public the opportunity to explore deep feelings and expressive nuances.
Monteverdi and the Expression of Affections
In the vast corpus of works by Claudio Monteverdi (1567-1643), solo singing plays a primary role. Monteverdi uses this form to best express all the emotions and passions suggested by poetic texts, having a significant impact not only on musical opera, but also on sacred repertoire. The intonations of motets and psalms are instruments through which Monteverdi explores the most hidden feelings, transforming each note into an emotional and spiritual journey.
A Dive into the Musical Past
Retracing the pages of Monteverdi's music is like rediscovering worlds that seemed lost but that, instead, are inherent within us. Monteverdi's musical writing represents the essence of the human soul, continuously connecting us to our complex and emotional existence. Every detail of his music echoes the dignity and depth of human life throughout the centuries.
Upcoming Appointments
The second event of the series is scheduled for Sunday, October 6, with sopranos Ester Facchini and Angela Luglio, accompanied by Luca Tarantino's archlute. An event that promises equal emotion and musical quality.
