  • Integrated Balance Sheet 2019
    Integrated balance sheet 2019 2019 was a unique year for the Accademia. 2019 marked the 15th year anniversary of M Antonio Pappano’s appointment as musical director to the Accademia. It was important to celebrate this anniversary since it is thanks to Mr. Pappano’s patient and passionate work with the orchestra, Mr. Visco and his choir, as well as his great collaboration with all of the Academia’s different ensembles ‐ in particular with the artistic direction‐ and his constant and productive dialogue with the administration/presidency, that the artistic ensembles were able to achieve a growth of international level. Visiting the world capitals from the several tours that were organized, using new technology that allowed the Accademia to reach new audiences( for instance thanks to the PappanoinWeb), and carrying out an in depth repertoire analysis, ranging from classical to contemporary music, were all strategies that created new opportunities for the Accademia to develop culturally, grow the admiration of members, partners and journalists, and mature artistically. The Accademia will always have immense gratitude and admiration towards Mr. Pappano, since without him all of this would not have been possible. On this note, the new symphonic season has the mark of the musical director, launching it with his signature phrase “Caro Pubblico!” In fact, it is this very greeting that Mr. Pappano usually uses to welcome audiences, ready to witness a new performance, within a new stylistic framework that seeks to touch their heart/feelings; just a few words used to accompany the audience into a new musical journey. In the new symphonic season, this kind of greeting will be used at start of every performance, either by Mr.

  • Orchestra Del Teatro La Fenice 2021
    ORCHESTRA DEL TEATRO LA FENICE La storia dell’Orchestra del Teatro La Fenice è legata a quella del teatro stesso, centro produttivo di primaria importanza che nel corso dell’Ottocento ha presentato prime assolute di opere fondamentali nella storia del melodramma (Semiramide, I Capuleti e i Montecchi, Rigoletto, La traviata). Nella seconda parte del secolo scorso l’impegno dei complessi orchestrali si concentrò nell’internazionalizzazione del repertorio, ampliato anche sul fronte sinfonico-concertistico (con solisti quali Enrico Mainardi, Mstislav Rostropovič, Edwin Fischer, Aldo Ferraresi, Arthur Rubinstein). Nel corso dell’Otto e Novecento, sul podio dell’Orchestra si susseguirono celebri direttori e compositori: Lorenzo Perosi, Giuseppe Martucci, Arturo Toscanini, Antonio Guarnieri, Richard Strauss, Pietro Mascagni, Giorgio Ghedini, Ildebrando Pizzetti, Goffredo Petrassi, Alfredo Casella, Gian Francesco Malipiero, Willy Ferrero, Leopold Stokowski, Fritz Reiner, Vittorio Gui, Tullio Serafin, Giuseppe Del Campo, Nino Sanzogno, Ermanno Wolf-Ferrari, Carlo Zecchi, John Barbirolli, Herbert Albert, Franco Ferrara, Guido Cantelli, Thomas Schippers, Dimitri Mitropoulos. Nel 1938 il Teatro La Fenice divenne Ente Autonomo: anche l’Orchestra vide un riassetto e un rilancio, grazie pure all’attiva partecipazione al Festival di musica contemporanea della Biennale d’Arte. Negli anni Quaranta e Cinquanta sotto la guida di Scherchen, Bernstein, Celibidache (impegnato nell’integrale delle sinfonie beethoveniane), Konwitschny (nell’integrale del Ring

  • Bolognafestival 2011
    BOLOGNAFESTIVAL 2012 XXXI EDIZIONE Antonio Pappano e l’Orchestra di Santa Cecilia inaugurano Bologna Festival con l’Ottava di Bruckner Il concerto inaugurale della 31ª edizione di Bologna Festival, domenica 18 marzo ore 20.30 al Teatro Manzoni, vede impegnati Antonio Pappano e l’Orchestra dell’Accademia Nazionale di Santa Cecilia nell’Ottava Sinfonia di Anton Bruckner, pagina dall’immenso respiro cosmico che trova in Antonio Pappano un interprete in grado di creare una grandiosità senza retorica. Sir Antonio Pappano è direttore musicale dei complessi ceciliani dal 2005 e del Covent Garden di Londra dal 2002, dopo esser stato direttore musicale nei teatri di Bruxelles e Oslo. Guida la “sua” orchestra nel grande repertorio sinfonico e ora affronta l’Ottava di Bruckner: una grande prova per un’orchestra che qui assume dimensioni smisurate. In questa Sinfonia del 1889, il fluire del discorso musicale bruckneriano suona insieme estatico e tragico, a momenti quasi pre-espressionista. Al clima misterioso del primo movimento segue uno Scherzo di grande effetto, con folgoranti esibizioni degli ottoni; di vaste dimensioni l’Adagio che con il suo tema cromatico assume caratteri wagneriani; squilli e fanfare segnano il grandioso Finale, dall’incedere ben ritmato. Antonio Pappano. Direttore musicale dell’Accademia Nazionale di Santa Cecilia dal 2005, Antonio Pappano è Music Director del Covent Garden dal 2002, oltre ad esser stato direttore musicale del Théâtre Royal de la Monnaie di Bruxelles e della Norske Opera di Oslo, teatro del suo debutto internazionale. Nato a Londra nel 1959 da genitori italiani, ha studiato pianoforte, composizione e direzione d’orchestra negli Stati Uniti.

  • Forgotten Artists: an Occasional Series by Christopher Howell 26
    Forgotten Artists: An occasional series by Christopher Howell 26. Willy Ferrero (1906-1954) Index of all articles in this series Child prodigy conductors Never have the young had it so good. Some such banal phrase comes to mind during the not infrequent TV programmes involving cutthroat competition between miniscule musicians, popular and classical. In the case of not-yet-teen boy tenors and similarly diminutive girl soul singers, I pass to vocal experts who are better equipped than I am to assess the physical damage being done. Child prodigy instrumentalists, usually pianists or violinists, have speckled the pages of musical history. Psychologists will have different views on where the borderline falls between outrageous exploitation and allowing the child to express a natural gift, which obviously should not be repressed. A reasonable number of ex-prodigies do become professional musicians later on. A few become the great musicians of their age. But what about child conductors? The TV contests seem to have spared us child conductors, but a spot of googling brings a few contemporary instances to light. A long way further back, the ferocious young man in the image above comes from a French postcard of 19041. If it is based on a real prodigy conductor, he might have been the youngest and the first. It could, however, be the artist’s subtle take on the infantile tantrums of some mature maestros. Looking over the twentieth century, the case everyone remembers is that of Lorin Maazel, who conducted the University of Idaho orchestra at the age of eight and the NBC Symphony Orchestra when he was eleven.
