The charm of nineteenth‐century musical salons is revived in a unique musical event… 'Malia, Il Salotto Musicale Napoletano dell'800' promises to transport the audience to an era of elegance and refinement through a concert performance in costume conceived as a dive into the past, an immersive experience that recreates the typical atmosphere of bourgeois and noble salons in nineteenth‐century Naples: an entertaining and refined evening with wonderful voices accompanied by violins and piano that will bring the salon to life by performing Tosti's most beautiful chamber arias and the most famous Neapolitan songs, interspersed with waltzes and readings, all accompanied by valuable historical notes on the pieces and splendid direction.
The artists involved in this show (Bruna Tredicine, Loretta Venditti, Costanza Fontana, and Marta Vulpi, sopranos Tiziana Pizzi, Eva Maria Ruggieri, and Tiziana Caruso, contraltos Massimo Simeoli, Alessio Potestio, and Luciano Miotto, baritones/basses Antonio Sapio, tenor) will take turns as guests in the Neapolitan salon to give voice to the splendid melodies, while Emilia Nigro, Valeria Modica, and Alberto Vitolo on violin, and Mirco Roverelli, Ida Iannuzzi, and Tatiana Chiarini on piano will accompany the performances, accompanied by valuable historical notes by Claudia Simonetti, the hostess.
