At 10 he will be the protagonist in the Nassirya Hall at Palazzo Madama of the presentation of his second book, «Women at the Opera. Dialogues with a tenor “. The initiative is organized by Senator Annamaria Parente who will speak with Andrea d’Angelo and Alessia Muscella, respectively national president and deputy of Arabona, and Adriana Domeniconi, national deputy secretary of Unsiau Industria. «This meeting – explains Iviglia – was born during the presentation of my first book in Rome. On that occasion, organized thanks to the help of a friend, Monsignor Mauro Sobrino (formerly assistant parish priest of the Cathedral of Asti, now chaplain of the Pope and official of the Vatican Secretariat of State, ed) among the guests there were some personalities who are put in contact with me. When they heard that my new book was out, they called me. Not only that, on Friday I will be in Montecitorio with the president of the Capitoline Assembly. Once again, art and culture have won ”.
This evening, however, Iviglia will be on the stage of Opera Housein the cast of the opera «Turandot» by Giacomo Puccini. He will be one of the three imperial advisers, Pang, in an edition that will not fail to interest opera enthusiasts for at least two elements. The first is that conductor and Turandot are Ukrainian artists, respectively Oskana Lyniv and Oksana Dyka. The other element of interest is the direction of the Chinese artist Ai Weiwei, definitely unconventional. «It is a show with futuristic aspects and many brilliant ideas – says Iviglia – for example, I have a camera as a headgear. Prince Calaf instead will appear with rasta braids like Gullit with Lego stuck on him. Eight reruns are scheduled and it is sold out ». Furthermore, on Thursday 24 March the work will be broadcast from 9.15 pm on Rai 5.
