The season at the Teatro Troisi continues with an eagerly awaited show entitled “Napoli tre punti ea capo”, scheduled for 12 to 15 and 20 to 22 December 2024. The musical lead of the event is the Nuova Orchestra Italiana, composed in part of the founding members of Renzo Arbore's Orchestra Italiana, under the direction of Pino Oliva.
The event offers the public a musical experience that mixes tradition and innovation, promising to fascinate with its unique sounds.
Ensemble of musical talents
The ensemble is made up of fourteen skilled musicians. Gianni Conte stands out as the lead singer, Barbara Buonaiuto and Giovanni Imparato. Massimo Volpe, on piano and orchestral direction, leads the string group, which includes Giordano Esposito, Michele Montefusco, Marco Manusso and Nicola Cantatore on guitars. The rhythmic aspect is taken care of by Peppe Sannino on percussion, Roberto Ciscognetti on drums, and Massimo Cecchetti on bass. Raffaele La Ragione, Salvatore Esposito and Salvatore della Vecchia enrich the sound of the Orchestra with mandolins and their voices.
Musical repertoire
The musical program includes famous songs from the Neapolitan tradition, such as “Torna a Surriento”, “Era de Maggio” and “Luna Rossa”, alongside more modern hits. The performance, lasting over two hours, is enriched by the stage presence of the actor Gino Rivieccio, who infuses the event with a theatrical touch of liveliness.
A tribute to Renzo Arbore
The evening intends to pay homage to the musical legacy of Renzo Arbore, including in the finale some of his most famous pieces. The Nuova Orchestra Italiana thus stages an emotional and dynamic tribute, promising to keep alive the musical tradition of Naples through a vibrant sound journey.

I am interested in this show, but I am not sure if the dates are convenient. I hope to be able to go see the performance, even though I am not a big fan of traditional Neapolitan music, but it could be nice.
