| Thanks to the successful collaboration
between Ferrara Public Theatre and the Theatre of Florence
May Musical Festival, the German choreographer Reinhild
Hoffmann reproposes Callas ballet in Italy, in a curter
and tighter version. Its debut was in Germany more than
twenty years ago. This event will contribute to enlighten
the character of the great soprano whose thirtieth death
anniversary is on September 16th 2007.
Reinhild Hoffmann, who is one of the most famous and
appreciated German dance authoresses, together with
Pina Bausch and Susanne Linke, committed to the dance
company of Florence May Musical Festival the interpretation
of the choreography, arranged into nine pictures, representing
some steps of Maria Callas’s brilliant carreer,
enhancing her as an artistic symbol.
The singer comes to life again in the pièce through
some famous arias as “L’amour est un oiseau
rebelle”, “Prés des ramparts de Sèville”
from “Carmen, “Spargi d’amaro pianto”
from “Lucia di Lammermoor”, “Tacea
la notte placida” from “Trovatore”
by Verdi.
In the occasion of Callas ballet performances
at the Public Theatre in Florence ( June 8th-9th-12th-13th
at 8.30 p.m.), on May Tuesday 30th, at the Piccolo Theatre
at 9.00 p.m., for the Meetings of Florence May Musical
Festival, dedicated to the most important events of
the 69th Festival edition, Bruno Tosi was invited by
the Association “Lyric Florence”, that organised
the desired appointment, to take part to the celebration:
“Maria Callas; from the voice to the theatre,
to the dance” with the authoress Reinhild Hoffmann,
the choreographer Giorgio Mancini and the dance critic
Marinella Guatterini. Bruno Tosi honoured Maria Callas,
who was so attached to Florence, proposing interesting
and unpublished pieces and film shows.
