MUSICA MOBILE [2021-2023]

1. 99 variazioni su Nessun Dorma [2021]

Concept: In a delicate period such as the reopening after the social restrictions due to the global COVID-19 pandemic, 99 VARIATIONS ON NESSUN DORMA is a traveling performance devised for the streets of a city: a pianist on a truck, traceable with a mobile GPS, plays every morning from 10 am to 1 pm, for a week, 99 variations in a loop on the aria "Nessun dorma" from Giacomo Puccini's Turandot.

Orchestration: Piano

2. Opera taxi [2022]

Concept: OPERA TAXI is a loop performance for toy piano, electronics, and an opera singer inside a vintage taxi. Like in a time machine, three passengers at a time will be driven through the city streets while listening live to a loop that revisits the most famous pages of opera history from the 17th century to the present day, from Claudio Monteverdi to John Adams, in a piano reduction for toy piano and voice, with the frenzy and unpredictability of random radio playback.

Orchestration: toy piano, 1 opera singer (mezzo-soprano, tenor or soprano)

3. Music Market Box [2022]

Concept: MUSIC MARKET BOX is a living jukebox installed inside a market stall: every morning from 10 am to 1 pm, anyone can visit the stall to buy fruits and vegetables, and also have the opportunity to choose one of thirty love songs from the repertoire of classic Italian songs from the 1960s and request it to be performed live by the musicians. Songs by artists like Endrigo, Lauzi, Tenco, Gino Paoli, and many others will be performed with original arrangements upon request.

Orchestration: Voice, hammond, violin, accordion

Year: 2021-2023

Venue and production: Festival La città ideale, E45, Rome
