The new adventure of Prometeo, which will once again make the Ocean Space Church of San Lorenzo a special place with a structure-environment re-imagined by Antonello Pocetti and Antonino Viola, will feature conductor Marco Angius, a sophisticated craftsman of sound and a point of reference for contemporary music at an international level, at the head of the Orchestra di Padova e del Veneto. With them, the flute and tuba champions Roberto Fabbriciani and Giancarlo Schiaffini, who, with sound wizard Alvise Vidolin on live electronics and Massimo Cacciari, editor of the texts, had already been involved in the legendary first edition. Alongside, important soloists to complete the instrumental and vocal ensembles: Carlo Lazari on viola, Michele Marco Rossi on cello, Emiliano Amadori on double bass; the voices of singers Rosaria Angotti, Livia Rado, Chiara Osella, Katarzyna Otczyk, Marco Rencinai, and reciting voices Sofia Pozdniakova and Jacopo Giacomoni, as well as the Friuli Venezia Giulia Choir. Prometeo was remounted by the Biennale di Venezia on the occasion of the centenary of the birth of the great Venetian composer Luigi Nono (29 January 1924), as a Special Project of the Archivio Storico delle Arti Contemporanee (ASAC) in collaboration with the Fondazione Archivio Luigi Nono, and with TBA21-Academy, the research centre of the Fundación TBA21 which was responsible for the restoration of the Ocean Space Church of San Lorenzo.
