P Ramme of Cultural Event P RO GR AM TS ME EN OF CULTURAL EV JANUARY APRIL 2017 Monday 9th January - 6.30pm Italian Institute of Culture Free Admission - RSVP [email protected] Lunedì al Cinema - Italy in a Day Director: Gabriele Salvatores. Documentary/ experimental, 95’. In Italian with English subtitles Based on Kevin Macdonald’s concept for Life in a Day, Oscar-winning director Gabriele Salvatores has created a touching mosaic of life in Italy during one day: 26th October 2013. Italians were asked to record and send in videos via their smartphones or video cameras. The result is a collage of 632 videos selected among the 44,197 sent from all over Italy exposing everyday Italians’ hopes and fears. This experiment portrays Italy through the eyes of Italians, going inside their homes and letting them decide what to show and share. Giovedì all’Opera - Tutto Rossini In collaboration with the Rossini Opera Festival The Institute is delighted to continue its exciting and prestigious collaboration with the celebrated Rossini Opera Festival of Pesaro. The screenings of Gioachino Rossini’s wonderful works will be introduced by Deirdre O’Grady, UCD Professor Emerita of Italian and Comparative Studies and will restart in 2017 on Thursday 12th January with La gazza ladra. All the films in this exceptional programme have been produced by the Rossini Opera Festival and are remarkable for their filmic qualities as well as for the importance and beauty of the voices, music, and staging. For more information and updates, please check our website and Facebook page! Thursday 12th January - 6pm Italian Institute of Culture Free Admission - RSVP [email protected] Giovedì all’Opera - La gazza ladra Director: Damiano Michieletto. Conductor: Lü Jia. With: Paolo Bordogna, Kleopatra Papatheologou, Dmitry Korchak, 201’. In Italian with English subtitles A delightful combination of serious and comic events with a happy ending, Rossini’s opera La gazza ladra proved an instant success. Based on a true story of a French peasant girl convicted and hung for the apparent theft of jewellery, later located in the nest of a magpie, consternation and confusion give way to ecstasy and celebration. Set in a time of revolution, the presence of an army deserter, a village mayor, a march to the scaffold and an execution aria contribute to the tension of the piece. Friday 13th January - From 6pm Italian Institute of Culture Free Admission - RSVP [email protected] Finnegans Wake The Italian launch! In collaboration with Edizioni Mondadori The Institute is pleased to present and launch the new volume of the Italian translation of Joyce’s Finnegans Wake. At 6pm, after an introduction by a representative of Edizioni Mondadori, the two translators and curators, Enrico Terrinoni and Fabio Pedone, will be joined by journalist and presenter Edoardo Camurri (Radio 3 and Rai 3) for a conversation in Italian on Joyce and on how to translate the untranslatable. The conversation will continue at 8pm in English with the participation of John McCourt and Declan Kiberd. Monday 16th January - 6.30pm Italian Institute of Culture Free Admission - RSVP [email protected] Lunedì al Cinema Generazione 1000 Euro Director: Massimo Venier. With A. Tiberi, V. Lodovini, C. Crescentini, 101’. In Italian with English subtitles. This 2009 bitter-sweet comedy follows the recently graduated Matteo through a series of professional and romantic mishaps, as he attempts to make sense of the world of precarious and soulless employment faced by contemporary young Italians: the generation who earn 1,000 euro per month on temporary contracts. From Wednesday 18th January - 6.30pm Italian Institute of Culture Free Admission - RSVP [email protected] Reading Dante at the IIC For the full calendar of readings please visit the website or contact us via email: [email protected] Reading Dante is an initiative started in the summer of 2015.

For more than forty years it has published excellent work in English, Irish and in translation. In the new issue, No. 82, a section is devoted to poetry from Italy.

Translators include Peter Sirr, Jamie McKendrick, Ciaran O’Driscoll, Cormac Ó Cuilleanáin and Emer Delaney. Monday 23rd January - 6.30pm Italian Institute of Culture Free Admission- RSVP [email protected] Lunedì al Cinema - Scialla Directed by Francesco Bruni. With Fabrizio Bentivoglio, Filippo Scicchitano, Barbora Bobulova. Comedy, 95’. In Italian with English subtitles Scialla! (Easy!) tells the story of Bruno, a retired secondary school teacher and ghostwriter, who gives private lessons to make ends meet. His life is turned upside down when he discovers that Luca – one of his students – is actually his son. Bruno does his best with several attempts and failures to prevent Luca from flunking out and falling in with the wrong crowd. Both father and son are enriched by their encounter and are ready to turn their lives around. Tuesday 24th January - 6.30pm Italian Institute of Culture Free Admission - RSVP [email protected] Yeats and Leopardi, a confrontation With Cesare Catà In English Cesare Catà will explore some surprising similarities and differences in the works and philosophies of W.B. Yeats and Giacomo Leopardi. For Yeats love is a mystical elevation. For Leopardi, on the other hand, nature is stronger than love. For Yeats fantasy is an intellectual power, whereas, for Leopardi, fantasy is “the supreme illusion” and essential to human existence. Finally, for Yeats, Ireland should shape its identity in conformity and accordance with its folkloric roots; Leopardi, instead, wished to shape the Italian people through ethical and civic values. Thursday 26th January - 6pm Italian Institute of Culture Free Admission - RSVP [email protected] Giovedì all’Opera - La scala di seta & Il signor Bruschino Introduction by Deirdre O’Grady (UCD) Film in Italian with English subtitles La scala di seta and Il signor Bruschino were both composed by the twenty-year old Rossini for the Teatro San Moisè in Venice. The first tells of a secret marriage musically communicated through four arias and four duets, with an ensemble in between. The second offering is a drama of intrigue, pretence and mistaken identity scored in true Commedia dell’Arte fashion. The one act comic farce is staged by the Florentine experimental theatre company Teatro Sotterraneo (Subterranean Theatre Company) and evolves as a tribute to the Rossini Opera Festival of Pesaro. Friday 27th January - 6.30pm Italian Institute of Culture Free Admission - RSVP [email protected] Giorno della Memoria Theatrical reading in Italian from Primo Levi’s La tregua introduced by a musical performance of Ravel’s Kaddish On the occasion of the International Holocaust Remembrance Day, the IIC will present a theatrical reading from Primo Levi’s La tregua by Riccardo Bocci. This Italian theatre actor has worked with Italian and international theatre directors such as Luca Ronconi, Gabriele Lavia, Declan Donnellan and Luis Pasqual. A performance of Maurice Ravel’s Kaddish by Paul Fanning and Randal Devine (RTÉ National Symphony Orchestra) will introduce the evening. Monday 30th January - 6.30pm Italian Institute of Culture Free Admission - RSVP [email protected] Lunedì al Cinema Gli amici del Bar Margherita Directed by Pupi Avati. With Diego Abatantuono, Laura Chiatti, 90’. In Italian with English subtitles Bologna, 1954. The mythical Bar Margherita and its eccentric, male-only clientele provide the back-drop for the coming of age of the youthful and innocent Taddeo, who manages to secure a job as diver to Al, the mysterious and undisputed master of the Margherita. Taddeo acts as our witness and narrator to the many adventures originating from the cafe. Thursday 2nd February - 6.30pm Italian Institute of Culture Free Admission - RSVP [email protected] Aspects of intercultural communication between Italy and Asia A book presentation by Roberto Bertoni (TCD) In English This book is inspired by an interest in Asia, multiculturalism, globalization, hybridization, and intercultural communication and transmission. Roberto Bertoni is an Italianist rather than an Asianist and the book includes chapters on Italian perceptions of South Korea and Singapore, Italian travellers to China since the 1950s, some Western varieties of Buddhism, and a number of intercultural literary texts. Research for the essays gathered in the volume was conducted between 2010 and 2016. Monday 6th February - 6.30pm Italian Institute of Culture Free Admission - RSVP [email protected] Lunedì al Cinema - I Vicerè Directed by Roberto Faenza. With: Alessandro Preziosi, Lando Buzzanca, Cristiana Capotondi, 120’.

The Uzeda family fights to remain in control of its power against the new regime, both on political and personal levels, leading to intricate love affairs, difficult parental relationships and obstacles on their way to the top. The film recounts the history of Sicily trough one of its noblest families, along the lines of Visconti’s great classic, The Leopard. Thursday 9th February - 6pm Italian Institute of Culture Free Admission - RSVP [email protected] Giovedì all’Opera - Matilde di Shabran Director: Mario Martone.

(Check local listings.) In this Rossini classic based on the work by Sir Walter Scott, DiDonato sings the title role of Elena, the lady of the lake pursued by two men, with Flórez in the role of Giacomo, the benevolent king of Scotland. Michele Mariotti , last featured in the Great Performance at the Met broadcast of Rigoletto , conducts debuting Scottish director Paul Curran's staging, a co-production with Santa Fe Opera. The cast also includes Daniela Barcellona in the trouser role of Malcolm, John Osborn as Rodrigo, and Oren Gradus as Duglas. "The wondrous Ms. DiDonato and Mr. Mariotti, the fast-rising young Italian conductor, seemed almost in competition to see who could make music with more delicacy,” noted The New York Times earlier this year, and “Mr. Mariotti drew hushed gentle and transparent playing from the inspired Met orchestra.” And NY Classical Review raved, "Joyce DiDonato…was beyond perfect..

  • Eleonora Buratto, from Mantua, Is One of the Most Highly Acclaimed Lyric Sopranos in the World
    Saverio Clemente Andrea De Amici Luca Targetti Eleonora Buratto, from Mantua, is one of the most highly acclaimed lyric sopranos in the world. Her career began in 2009 singing as Creusa in Demofoonte, conducted by Riccardo Muti at the Salzburg Festival, Opéra Garnier and the Ravenna Festival. In the years that followed she sang under Maestro Muti as Susanna in the opera I Due Figaro by Mercadante, as Norina in Don Pasquale, Amelia in Simon Boccanegra, Alice in Falstaff and Countess Almaviva in Le Nozze di Figaro. At the start of 2015 she was Corinna at the Dutch National Opera in Amsterdam in Il Viaggio a Reims, directed by Damiano Michieletto and conducted by Stefano Montanari. Since then her international career has continued to develop. That same year she sang for the first time both as Liù and as Countess Almaviva and she also inaugurated the Teatro San Carlo season in Naples singing as Micaela in Carmen conducted by Zubin Mehta. Since 2016 she has made other debuts which have become signature roles in her Eleonora Buratto repertoire such as Mimì at the Liceu in Barcelona, Donna Anna at Soprano the Aix-en-Provence Festival, Elettra in Idomeneo at the Teatro Real in Madrid (available worldwide from spring 2020 on Dvd and Bd by Opus Arte) and Luisa Miller once again at the Liceu.

  • Gioachino Rossini
    MATILDE DI SHABRAN GIOACHINO ROSSINI Olga Peretyatko Juan Diego Flórez Paolo Bordogna Anna Goryachova Nicola Alaimo Michele Mariotti Orchestra del Teatro Comunale di Bologna GIOACHINO ROSSINI MATILDE DI SHABRAN Conductor Michele Mariotti “There truly is a Rossini miracle!” (Deutschlandradio). Acclaiming Orchestra Orchestra del Teatro the mastery of tenorissimo Juan Diego Flórez and the breathtaking Comunale di Bologna young soprano Olga Peretyatko in the lead roles, the press hailed Chorus Coro del Teatro Comunale di Bologna the premiere of Rossini’s Matilde di Shabran at the Rossini Opera Chorus Master Lorenzo Fratini Festival in Pesaro as the “high point of the festival” (the Berlin daily Der Tagesspiegel). Matilde di Shabran Olga Peretyatko Matilde di Shabran was given its world premiere performance in Edoardo Anna Goryachova Rome in 1821. A genuine international hit, it was staged in Vienna, Raimondo Lopez Marco Filippo Romano London, Paris, New York and throughout Italy all before 1830. The Corradino Juan Diego Flórez music of Rossini’s last “opera semiseria” – thus half serious and half Ginardo Simon Orfila comic – contains a succession of beguiling ensemble pieces. The plot Aliprando Nicola Alaimo revolves around the knight Corradino, who has withdrawn to his castle Isidoro Paolo Bordogna and professes to hate his fellow humans. When he meets Matilde di Contessa d’Arco Chiara Chialli Shabran, however, he experiences unknown emotions that have Egoldo Giorgio Misseri nothing to do with hatred... Rodrigo Luca Visani Leading the Orchestra del Teatro Comunale di Bologna, conductor Staged by Mario Martone Michele Mariotti commands an ideal ensemble of singers: while Juan Diego Flórez, “perhaps the best Rossini tenor of our time” Video Director Tiziano Mancini (Deutschlandradio), sings the role of Corradino, that of Matilde is “gorgeously sung by Olga Peretyatko” (The New York Times).

  • MUSICWEB INTERNATIONAL Recordings of the Year 2019
    MUSICWEB INTERNATIONAL Recordings Of The Year 2019 This is the seventeenth year that MusicWeb International has asked its reviewing team to nominate their recordings of the year. Reviewers are not restricted to discs they had reviewed, but the choices must have been reviewed on MWI in the last 12 months (December 2018-November 2019). The 128 selections have come from 27 members of the team and 65 different labels, the choices reflecting as usual, the great diversity of music and sources; I say that every year, but still the spread of choices surprises and pleases me. Of the selections, one has received three nominations: An English Coronation on Signum Classics and ten have received two nominations: Gounod’s Faust on Bru Zane Matthias Goerne’s Schumann Lieder on Harmonia Mundi Prokofiev’s Romeo & Juliet choreographed by John Cranko on C Major Marx’s Herbstymphonie on CPO Weinberg symphonies on DG Shostakovich piano works on Hyperion Late Beethoven sonatas on Hyperion Korngold orchestral works on Chandos Coates orchestral works on Chandos Music connected to Leonardo da Vinci on Alpha Hyperion was this year’s leading label with nine nominations, just ahead of C Major with eight. MUSICWEB INTERNATIONAL RECORDING OF THE YEAR In this twelve month period, we published more than 2300 reviews. There is no easy or entirely satisfactory way of choosing one above all others as our Recording of the Year, but this year one recording in particular put itself forward as the obvious candidate.

  • Csengery Kristóf – Verdi, Három Az Egyben (Rigoletto – Zeljko Lucic
    Kulturális-közéleti havilap, harminckilencedik évfolyam 2013 október Ról-ről Csengery Kristóf – Verdi, három az egyben (Rigoletto – Zeljko Lucic, Michele Mariotti, 2 DVD, Deutsche Grammophon; Requiem – Daniel Barenboim, 2 CD, Decca; operaáriák – Anna Netrebko, CD, Deutsche Grammophon.) Nem lelkesedem az évfordulókért, s a Mozgó Világ sem szokott pusztán azért cikket közölni valakiről, mert nevéhez kerek szám kapcsolódik. A magyar kulturális élet régóta két véglet között ingázik: hajlamosak vagyunk kincsekről megfeledkezni, aztán ha kiderül, hogy létrehozójuk száz esztendeje született, hirtelen nekiállunk a csapból is őt folyatni, nemcsak divatba hozva, de egy füst alatt sebtében meg is utáltatva a szerzőt, legyen költő, komponista vagy bármi egyéb. Hallgatás és kampány. Másfajta veszély a kisajátítás, gyakorlatát még a Kádár-korszaktól örököltük, de ma is kísért: magyar rezsimek hajlamosak arra, hogy évfordulós alkotókat csoportérdekek mentén soroljanak be, életművüket hamis politikai színezettel kompromittálva. Szerencsére a kétszáz éve született Giuseppe Verdit nehéz volna politikailag kihasználni, s elhallgatásról vagy kampányszerű túladagolásról sem beszélhetünk, hiszen művészete iránt bő másfél százada tartós és pártsemleges az érdeklődés. Jelen cikk nem az évforduló okán született, hanem mert a jubileum jóvoltából sok új kiadvány látott napvilágot Verdiről és Verditől (szemre jóval több, mint bicentenáriumi vetélytársa, Wagner háza táján). A három újdonság, melyről alább szó esik – egy DVD és két CD –, önmagában is szóra érdemes, de arra is alkalmas, hogy megmutassa: Verdi van olyan sokoldalú, mint a tusfürdő, mely sampon és testápoló is egyben. „A többfunkciós Verdi” – ez jelen kritika tárgya. (Az operaszerző) Verdi portréjának legfontosabb aspektusa kétségkívül az, melyben zenés színpadi alkotóként látjuk. Ugyanakkor ez a minőség a legproblematikusabb, itt a legnehezebb új fényben ábrázolni a műveket.
