La Fenice returns to make music in the Petrochemical Shed of Marghera, exactly 6 years from 2 May 2018 in which music, poetry and factory were the protagonists of an evocative event promoted as part of the calendar of initiatives to celebrate the Centenary of Porto Marghera. This time the occasion is the concert of the Choir and Brass of the La Fenice Theatre, with Alfonso Caiani choir master and Andrea Chinaglia on the piano, scheduled for Friday 3 May at 6.30 pm. It will be a tribute to the Venetian composer Luigi Nono, on the occasion of the centenary of his birth.
The program, in line with the passions and exceptional eclecticism of Nono’s artistic vein, is a journey from Renaissance music to contemporaneity, which passes through some cornerstones of Verdi’s melodrama, points of reference in the Italian collective imagination. Even the space that hosts the concert, that of the Petrochemical Shed of Porto Marghera, is not accidental: a symbol of the working class, it was also a source of inspiration for the creativity of the Venetian composer.
“I made this commitment publicly on the occasion of the launch of the 6th Luigi Nono Festival and the thirtieth anniversary of the Foundation’s activities – explained the mayor of Venice Luigi Brugnaro -. We want to pay homage to this great artistic figure of the city, bringing her back to a symbolic place in which a fundamental piece of Venice and of the industrial history of our entire country was built. As an Administration we acquired the property and started the adaptation and maintenance works, so that it could maintain its vocation as an open place of collective memory.” .
