Associazione Bologna Festival: La Venexiana, Gabriele Palomba, Compagnia Teatri 35
Bologna, Chiesa di Santa Cristina della Fondazza
About the Event
Experience the stunning architecture of Bologna's mesmerizing Chiesa di Santa Cristina della Fondazza for a concert that promises to transform your appreciation of classical music. Caravaggio and Monteverdi, both products of the mannerism era, communicate through the expressive 'poetics of the affections.' Their cultural synergy naturally emerges in this inventive performance. Titled “Pur ti miro” (the final duet from L’incoronazione di Poppea), the ensemble La Venexiana—established in 1997 by the late Claudio Cavina and renowned for revitalizing the madrigal repertoire—collaborates with the Compagnia Teatri 35, a group exploring tableaux vivants for two decades. Their artistic dialogue, journeying through the music of Monteverdi, Gagliano, Schütz, Frescobaldi, and others from the same period, transforms images into sounds and sounds into visions.
