MA CHE RAZZA DI OTELLO?

with Marina Massironi by Lia Celi - 9:00 PM Harp music arranged and performed live by Monica Micheli directed by Massimo Navone produced by Nidodiragno CMC If Shakespeare tells us Othello, it's a tragedy; if Verdi tells it, it's a melodrama. But when the narration of the Moor's dark story is entrusted to a lively author like Lia Celi, the result is an unexpected reinterpretation of the history of Verdi's enterprise, the rules of melodrama, and the themes dear to Shakespeare's tragedy: jealousy, racism, plagiarism, slander. Marina Massironi brings the audience back to the genesis of Verdi's masterpiece with curious historical insights, current events, and reflections on the human dynamics emblematic of the Othello-Iago-Desdemona triangle, with subtle and unsettling humor and tragically passionate moments. All accompanied by the crystalline timbre of Monica Micheli's harp.
