Mozart Evening at the Capitoline Museums

On Saturday, Nov. 18 at the Capitoline Museums there will be a tribute to Austrian composer Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart with an event organized in collaboration with Roma Tre Orchestra, during which, between 8 p.m. and midnight (last admission 11 p.m. - ticket costing a symbolic one euro), the most significant musical stages of his career will be retraced with performances of some of his individual concertos and arias from his most famous operas: Marriage of Figaro, Don Giovanni, Magic Flute and Così fan tutte.

As stated in a note, Johannes Sebastian Bach, on the other hand, will be the inspiration behind the free concert on Sunday, Nov. 19, at 11:30 a.m. at the Museum of the Roman Republic and Garibaldian Memory. Roma Tre Orchestra will offer museum visitors the concert Una suite in viaggio nel tempo performed by cellist Leo Morello. On the program, in addition to music by Bach himself, are pieces by Sciarrino, Donatoni, Lang and Xenakis. The two days are part of the initiative “Nel weekend l’arte si anima” promoted by Roma Capitale, Assessorato alla Crescita culturale - Sovrintendenza Capitolina ai Beni Culturali with the organization of Zètema Progetto Cultura. The programming is the result of collaboration with important city cultural institutions such as: Casa del Jazz, Fondazione Musica per Roma, Teatro di Roma, Fondazione Teatro dell’Opera, Accademia Nazionale di Santa Cecilia and with the Orchestras of Roma Tre University and Sapienza University of Rome.
A ticket costing a symbolic one euro will allow visitors to visit the world’s oldest public museum and the many beauties of its permanent collection. Inside the halls will resound the most famous notes of Mozart’s musical career performed by the young members of the Roma Tre Orchestra, according to the following program:

MOZARTIANA
Curated by Roma Tre Orchestra
Tonino Battista (conductor)

Exedra of Marcus Aurelius

Of the seven children born in Salzburg to musician Leopold Mozart and his wife Anna Maria Walpurga, only two survived: Wolfgang Amadeus and his older sister, Anna Maria, affectionately called ’Nannerl.’ Both studied music from the earliest years of their lives and manifested enormous musical talent early on. From 1762, their father began to propose his young talents to the courts of various European princes, including Germany, Belgium, England, and Italy. From an early age, the young Wolfgang thus learned to play the piano and violin: to him we owe some of the most important masterpieces of the repertoire written for these instruments, including the three solo concertos offered here, in the interpretation of some young but already established protagonists of the Italian musical scene.

8:15 p.m. | Piano Concerto No. 12 in A major K. 414
Soloist: Francesco Grano

9:45 p.m. | Piano Concerto No. 20 in D minor K. 466
Soloist: Alberto Idà

11 p.m. | Violin Concerto No. 5 in A major K. 219
Soloist: Ivos Margoni

New Palace

The great Wolfgang-despite the fact that his chamber and symphonic repertoire is second to none in the entire history of music-he nevertheless felt that he was first and foremost an opera composer, and always to him we owe some of the greatest masterpieces of the genre. Arias from his four most important operas, the Da Ponte trio (Nozze di Figaro, Don Giovanni, Così fan tutte) and Flauto Magico, will be heard, in the interpretation of Stefano Marra and Martina Paciotti.

9 p.m. and 10:15 p.m. | W.A. Mozart: Selection of opera arias and duets from Così fan tutte, Don Giovanni, Marriage of Figaro and Magic Flute

With: Stefano Marra (tenor), Martina Paciotti (soprano), Andrea Bosso (piano)

MUSEUM OF THE ROMAN REPUBLIC AND GARIBALDINE MEMORY
Sunday, November 19 at 11:30 a.m.

Sunday, November 19 at 11:30 a.m. at the Museum of the Roman Republic will be staged the free concert Una suite in viaggio nel tempo organized in collaboration with Roma Tre Orchestra. An impossible suite because it mixes, in an ideal journey through time and space, pieces from different and distinct epochs, places, and styles, apparently irreconcilable, but actually united by the musical and conceptual framework of Johann Sebastian Bach and proposed through the warm and sensual voice of the cello, in the performance of Leo Morello, a musician from Pordenone, long time resident in Berlin.

On the program: S. Sciarrino: Studio No. 1; J.S. Bach: from the 3. suite for cello solo - Prelude; F. Donatoni: Lame No. 1; J.S. Bach: from the 3. suite for cello solo - Allemande; F. Donatoni: Lame No. 2; J.S. Bach: from the 3. suite for cello solo - Corrente; S. Sciarrino: Studio No. 2; J.S. Bach: from the 3. suite for cello solo - Sarabande; K. Lang: Music is the key; J.S. Bach: from the 3rd suite for cello solo - Giga; I. Xenakis: Kottos

With: Leo Morello (cello)
