The BrassOperà are back on stage, as part of the Musica and Aperitivo concerts. The successful concert format, which combines a matinee of classical music in the Sale Apollinee with an aperitif offered to the public in the bar room of the Teatro La Fenice, will offer a program of music drawn from the most popular opera repertoire, which will be proposed in the ‘special’ interpretation of the ‘brass ensemble. And in addition to the pages of Verdi, Puccini, Mascagni, Leoncavallo and Rachmaninov, the group will propose some excerpts from the soundtracks of cinema by Ennio Morricone, Nicola Piovani and Nino Rota. The musical program will start from two arrangements of works by Giacomo Puccini: the Fantasia from Bohème and «E lucean le stelle…» from Tosca. This will be followed by the quartet “Beautiful daughter of love” from Rigoletto by Giuseppe Verdi and then, by the main authors of Italian verismo, the toast “Viva il vino spumeggiante” from Cavalleria rusticana by Pietro Mascagni and the Mattinata by Ruggero Leoncavallo. Sergej Rachmaninov’s Polka Italienne will introduce songs related to the world of cinema and some of the most beloved authors of the twentieth century: Song for Elena from Nuovo Cinema Paradiso by Ennio Morricone, and the Medleys by Nicola Piovani and Nino Rota. The BrassOperà line-up is made up of Piergiuseppe Doldi and Alberto Capra on trumpets, Loris Antiga on horn, Giuseppe Mendola on trombone and Alberto Azzolini on bass tuba.
