Quest’anno si celebra il 120mo anniversario della morte del grande compositore italiano Giuseppe Verdi, autore operistico fra i più conosciuti ed amati dal pubblico italiano e di tutto il mondo. Nella sua lunga e prolifica carriera, Giuseppe Verdi compose alcune fra le opere più famose e rappresentate nella storia della lirica, fra queste La Traviata, che secondo una recente statistica è probabilmente l’opera con il maggior numero di recite al mondo.
Per celebrare l’anniversario verdiano ed in preparazione della messa in scena presso il National Centre for Performing Arts de La Traviata (dal 5 all’11 aprile prossimo), l’Istituto Italiano di Cultura dell’Ambasciata d’Italia a Pechino, in collaborazione con il NCPA, ha organizzato una “conferenza in musica” dal titolo “Giuseppe Verdi e La Traviata”.
La conferenza “Giuseppe Verdi e La Traviata” sarà tenuta dal dott. Giuseppe Cuccia, autorevole esperto di storia dell’opera lirica nonché Consulente Artistico per l’Opera Lirica presso il NCPA fin dal 2011. Nella sua conferenza il dott. Cuccia, oltre ad introdurre la vicenda narrativa ed il retroterra letterario del libretto de La Traviata, spiegherà al grande pubblico la rivoluzionarietà e l’efficace ricercatezza del linguaggio musicale adottato da Verdi, elementi che contribuiranno grandemente all’immenso successo fino ad oggi riservatole dal pubblico di tutto il mondo.
Nel corso della conferenza, i cantanti del NCPA Zhou Xiaolin (soprano), KouJing (tenore) e Zhang Yang (baritono), accompagnati al pianoforte dal Maestro Marco Bellei (Central Conservatory of Music) eseguirano alcune fra le più celebri ed amate arie da La Traviata.
Concluderà la serata un’intervista, moderata dal Direttore dell’IIC Franco Amadei, con i cantanti ospiti, che andranno in scena presso la NCPA la prossima settimana.
