Pesaro, 18-19-20 April 2016

Orchestra Sinfonica G. Rossini with the support of Comune di (Pesaro Municipality) announces the second edition of the music competition “Giovani in Crescendo”.

Pesaro, washed by the Adriatic sea, with its culture, its ideal size, its lifestyle and its treasures has made hospitality its vocation. Pesaro has a flourishing tourist industry, based mainly on seaside holidays. A seven kilometres long beach surrounded by Monte San Bartolo National Park, bathing establishments with fine sand and shallow water, a harbour well connected to the opposite side of the Adriatic Sea make Pesaro an ideal place to relax. But Pesaro is also a historical centre with elegant streets, museums, churches, fortresses, ancient and modern libraries and interesting events all year round. With his music brought international renown to the city of Pesaro. Tourists can take a pleasant stroll on the Rossini trail: his house, the Conservatory, the Theatre, the Foundation and Rossini Opera Festival Headquarters. His house is now a museum and has materials donated or willed, including prints, etchings, official portraits and music scores. The Conservatory of Music was set up with the funds he left to the city for that purpose and many world famous musicians and directors (Renata Tebaldi, Mario Del Monaco, Riz Ortolani, , Amilcare Zanella, Riccardo Zandonai and ) studied there. The Theatre was named for Gioacchino Rossini on his death in 1855, but was inaugurated in 1637 as Teatro del Sole and renamed Teatro Nuovo in 1818 when Rossini conducted his opera . Today it is used for cultural events all year round. Another delightful stop on the Rossini trail is the Tempietto inside the eighteenth-century Palazzo Olivieri, where Rossini Foundation has its headquarters. Here are kept the manuscripts of the operas first staged in Naples: Elisabetta, Regina d’Inghilterra; Otello, ossia il Moro di Venezia; Armida; La donna del lago; Maometto II; Adina. The recently opened Rossini Foundation Library has: critical editions of his works; a rich nineteenth-century collection, known as the Lord St. Davids collection; an excellent bibliography of literature concerning Rossini; a music library, belonged to the conductor and composer Vittorio Gui; microfilms; encyclopaedias and dictionaries of music and entertainment.
