Teatrozeta L’Aquila presents
Rossini – The Taste of Music
A performance that celebrates Gioachino Rossini, musical and theatrical genius, combining live music, theatre and storytelling. Through the theatrical text by Paola Bidinelli, Rossini relives his career in the form of a confidential tale during a dinner, amid anecdotes, music, jokes, plenty of irony and tasty courses. Orchestral pieces and celebrated arias, arranged by Maestro Antimo Magnotta, intertwine with the acting of Manuele Morgese, director and actor of Teatrozeta, creating a journey that explores the life, historical context and modernity of the composer.
A show intended to celebrate Rossini and the bond between music and theatre, making his work accessible and engaging for a broad audience, including young people and students.
