From 20 July to 2 August, the
Riccardo Muti Italian Opera Academy in Ravenna will be holding
rehearsals and concerts open to the public of "The Marriage of
Figaro".
"Today the world rushes by, but time is needed for opera: to
study and rigorously analyse the musical scores; understand and
convey to the orchestra and singers the personality and
evolution of the characters, as well as the composer's
intentions; and to try the vocal and instrumental parts together
several times, calibrating the drama and musical balances,"
Riccardo Muti said on what is the necessary practice to protect
and hand down the heritage of Italian opera.
These are also the principles that the Italian Opera Academy
is based on.
From July 20 until August 2, Ravenna's Teatro Alighieri will
open to fans, students and musicians for an intense period of
study on Mozart's "Marriage of Figaro", from the presentation of
the plan on July 20 to the rehearsals with the orchestra and
singers, to the July 31 and August 2 concerts.
On the podium and piano, under Muti's wing, young conductors
and maestros will alternate who have been selected from among
hundreds of applications from around the world.
