Don Pasquale e Lucia di Lammermoor are the two Donizetti titles chosen for this summer, but there will also be a week devoted to Iliad, the star of the recently concluded drama season, and one dedicated to the Turandot by Puccini, one hundred years after his death. Immortal stories and wondrous adventures will take participants into ancient and fantastic worlds, revealing how much contemporary there still is in each story: “what does it mean to be a hero today?” Question that Iliad and Turandot help us answer, or “How to make one’s voice heard?” Ernesto, the young protagonist of Don Pasquale, and Lucia can help us reflect, with two completely different stories, on the struggles of being heard by adults and expressing one’s feelings. Singing, music and from this year also dance, understood as movement and bodily expression specifically in the week dedicated to Iliad, will be languages to be discovered to get in touch with the ancient stories of Lucia, Achilles, Calaf and Norina, through music and theater.
During the five days of the Donizetti Summer Camp, participants will be able to discover the rehearsal room, dressing rooms and step onto the stage of the Donizetti Theater as protagonists: in fact, each week will end with an original staging of the in-depth opera, interpreted of course by the attendees themselves, who will sing, act, move on stage to the rhythm of the music and have collaborated in the creation of costumes and sets. The final recital will take place on Friday at 5:30 p.m. and will be open to families and anyone who is pleased to attend.
The pedagogical and artistic aspect of the Donizetti Summer Camp was supervised by trainers specializing in the different disciplines (Paola Rivolta, scenes and costumes – Alessandra Giolo, music – Silvia Briozzo, theater – Serena Marossi, dance), supported by certified educators from Edoomark.
