The second live-streamed concert in
which Riccardo Muti leads the Luigi Cherubini Youth Orchestra at
Ravenna's Alighieri theatre is set to be a celebration of Italy.
After last Sunday's show totally dedicated to Schubert, the
second concert, taking place on Sunday, November 29 at 11am,
features Martucci's Notturno Op. 70, Puccini's Preludio
Sinfonico, and music by Verdi, with the Macbeth Ballabili, the
overtures from Nabucco and I Vespri Siciliani.
It will be possible to see the concert free via
ravennafestival.live and on ANSA.it, as part of the 'ANSA per la
Cultura' (ANSA for Culture) project.
THE CONCERT
This event, like the previous one, will be available for 15 days
on demand; subscribers to the newsletters of the Ravenna
Festival and Riccardo Muti Music will have access to exclusive
content from the rehearsals, which are also a chance for Muti to
share his experiences.
The concerts are taking place thanks to the collaboration
between the Ravenna Festival, the Fondazione Orchestra Giovanile
Luigi Cherubini, and RMMUSIC, with the contribution of the
Fondazione Cassa di Risparmio di Ravenna.
Last week's concert, a new section of the road the Ravenna
Festival embarked on in the summer by broadcasting events on its
programme free via a specially created platform, attracted
40,890 viewers.
People from over 100 countries tuned in, with spectators from
Japan, Spain and Russia the most numerous after Italy.
It was also streamed by special partners.
These included the Tokyo Spring Festival, which also partnered
the festival for the 2016 concerts of friendship celebrating 150
years of diplomatic relations between Italy and Japan, and the
newspapers El País and Rossijskaja Gazeta.
On November 29 the Italian and international public will also
again be able to admire the Ravenna of Dante in a short
promotional video before the concert with Luzzasco Luzzaschi's
16th century 'Quivi Sospiri' setting of Inferno to music.
