Based on Shakespeare's tragedy, I Capuleti e i Montecchi was composed by Vincenzo Bellini in yet another meeting with librettist Felice Romani. Bellini reserved the part of Romeo for a mezzo-soprano voice, tracing a tradition of en travesti roles. Wearing the role will be the Brescian mezzo-soprano Annalisa Stroppa, an assiduous performer of the role of Romeo and a frequent protagonist on European stages.
On stage, the return of great cellist Giovanni Sollima, now a friend of the Teatro Sociale. With him, the Israeli mandolin musician Avi Avital, the first mandolin soloist to be nominated for a classical Grammy, for his mastery of his instrument and his incredible virtuosity; passionate and 'explosively charismatic' in live performances, he is a driving force behind the reinvigoration of the mandolin repertoire. And again, Alessia Tondo, one of the most important voices on the music scene in Apulia, and Luca Tarantino at the guitar and theorbo.

In italian, “Pupo” refers to both the child and the puppet: Sofia Nappi’s new piece is inspired by the figure of Pinocchio, Collodi’s famous work about the metamorphosis of the puppet who dreams of becoming a child. Pupo was created for adults, but it will be a show to give a wide audience the opportunity to observe and reflect. Pupo is an invitation not to forget the child in us, the impulsive and playful wooden puppet we once were, the exuberant and irrepressible desire to dance.
Two composers, representative of the classical-romantic repertoire par excellence, observed through two exemplary pages from their catalogue: the Concerto in D major for violin and orchestra op. 61 by Ludwig van Beethoven (1806) and the Symphony No. 3 in A minor op. 56 “Scottish” by Felix Mendelssohn (1842) entrusted to the baton of the Pomeriggi Musicali’s guest conductor Stefano Montanari and a star of the bow such as Viktoria Mullova. The Concerto offers wonders of lyricism and vivacity, characterising some pages from the central season of the great composer’s creativity.
