A LOOK AT THE FUTURE

This season’s last events and some information on next season’s upcoming events: Dee Dee Bridgewater, Mariangela Melato, Gabriele Lavia...

Le Muse Theatre’s second year of life will no doubt live up to expectations too. The art directors of the various seasons are already providing some inviting advance information.

The Spaziomusica association has announced two important jazz events.

An option exercised by Spaziomusica is the one on Dee Dee Bridgewater, a national premier, to be held probably between 6 and 9 November, at the end of the Ancona Jazz festival. Every year Dee Dee Bridgewater comes up with a different project; last year’s was dedicated to Kurt Weill.

In cooperation with Umbria Jazz, a Gospel “imported” directly from Perugia will probably be performed on 26 December, although details still have to be defined.

During concerts, the Amici della Musica noticed that Le Muse Theatre has excellent acoustics for chamber music, an impression shared by Salvatore Accardo, Giuranna, Filippini, Petracchi and the great Mintz. Encouraged by such favourable conditions for classical music, for next season they decided to increase the number of concerts held at Le Muse Theatre to four or five, including the opening concert which will be performed on 15 October - when the great Greek violinist Leonidas Kavakos will play with Camerata Salzburg, the famous Austrian orchestra -; a recital by one of the greatest pianists in the world, Krjstian Zimerman; and the final concert, in May, with the Prague Philarmonia conducted by Pier Carlo Trizio. On that occasion, today’s best flautist, Sir James Galway, will perform a concert by Mozart and Cimarosa’s concert for two flutes with his wife, Jeanne.

The season will also include 5 or 6 concerts held at the Sperimentale Theatre.

Three or four productions by the Orchestra Filarmonica Marchigiana will make their debut at Le Muse Theatre, including the concert conducted by Gustav Kuhn, Bela Bartok for orchestra in the first part, and Mussorskj in the second part, as well as Schumann’s third symphony.

As regards drama, the season will be organised by the “La Città dei Teatri” Foundation - Teatro Stabile delle Marche. Its director, Tommaso Paolucci disclosed the presence of actors like Mariangela Melato, Giorgio Albertazzi, Gabriele Lavia, Marco Columbro, and the new production of a play by Pirandello featuring Carlo Cecchi, who directed and acted in Sei personaggi in cerca d’autore (Six characters in search of an author).
