The unique tribute to the music of the great Italian composer is enriched with new pages largely less known but of great beauty in the boundless repertoire of M° Morricone to give life to the new show Discovering Morricone.

 

Not only a concert, but a journey of words, suggestions and solo performances that guide the viewer through the decades that have made cinema and Italian and international music greatThe incredible journey started between the melodies that have remained in the collective memory of generations with the evocative power of Mission, The legend of the pianist on the , Once upon a time the West, New Cinema Paradiso, The Hateful Height, Once upon a time in America, For a few dollars moreMalena stagioni prosegue affrontandocome Gli intoccabili, La Califfa, Canone inverso, Indagine su un cittadino al di sopra di ogni sospetto La classe operaia va in paradiso.

 

500 soundtracks, 70 million records sold worldwide, six nominations and two Oscars won, three Grammys, four Golden Globes and a Golden Lion make Ennio Morricone a music giant of all time. Hence the idea of the Ensemble Symphony Orchestra, the flagship of our country, to pay homage to the Master.

 

The Ensemble approaches the music of Morricone after important national and international collaborations: Mario Biondi, Max Gazzè, Franco Battiato, Giovanni Allevi, Renato Zero, Francesco Renga, Pooh, Baustelle, PFM, Andrea Bocelli, Sting, Kylie Minogue, Robbie Williams, Nile Rodgers, Sam Smith, Luis Bacalov. With over six hundred concerts between Italy, Switzerland, Germany, Spain, Holland, France, Austria, the United Kingdom and Belgium, the orchestra presents a great versatility and attention to every type of music, with a repertoire ranging from the most famous opera arias to the soundtracks of world-renowned films, from Frozen to Harry Potter.

 

In this tribute on stage will alternate soloists, first parts of important Italian theaters and symphony institutions, such as the cello of Maestro Ferdinando Vietti and the trumpet of Maestro Stefano Benedetti. Special guests the soprano Anna Delfino, darling of the European audience of the opera, who will revive the emotion of Deborah’s Theme from “Once Upon a Time in America” and the violinist of the Circle du Soleil Attila Simon, who will perform the solo of Love Affair

 

Program and cast

Teatro dal Verme

The Teatro Dal Verme is a theatre in Milan, Italy located on the Via San Giovanni sul Muro, on the site of the former private theatre the Politeama Ciniselli. It was designed by Giuseppe Pestagalli to a commission from Count Francesco Dal Verme, and was used primarily for plays and opera performances throughout the 19th and early 20th centuries. Today, the theatre is no longer used for opera, and is a venue for concerts, plays and dance performances, as well as exhibitions and conferences.

The original 3,000-seat theatre, surmounted by a large cupola, was constructed in the traditional horseshoe shape, with two tiers of boxes and a large gallery (or loggione) which alone contained more than 1000 seats. It opened on September 14, 1872 with a production of Meyerbeer's Les Huguenots and soon established itself as one of Italy's most important opera houses. During its "golden years", the theatre saw the world premieres of Puccini's Le Villi (May 31, 1884); Leoncavallo's Pagliacci (May 21, 1892) and I Medici (November 9, 1893); and Cowen's Signa (November 12, 1893). It also saw the Italian premiere of Lehár's The Merry Widow (April 27, 1907).

By the 1930s, the theatre was mainly being used as a cinema. It was then severely damaged by American aerial bombardment during World War II, after which its magnificent central cupola, which had survived the bombing, was stripped of all its metal parts by the occupying German army. It was partially rebuilt in 1946, and for a period in the 1950s it was used for the performance of musicals. It then reverted to a cinema and a political conference hall.

In 1991, the theatre's interior underwent a major restructuring and renovation project which was completed in 1998. It now has a large modern auditorium, the Sala Grande, with 1420 seats, a smaller performing space known as the Sala Piccola, with 200 seats, and a space for exhibitions and conferences, the Sala Terrazzo. Since September 2001, it has been administered
