One of today's leading pianists, Beatrice Rana, after the important Italian tour in October that also took her to La Scala and then continued abroad, touches down in four cities with a masterpiece such as Ravel's "Concerto in G". At La Scala, baritone Ludovic Tézier, while waiting to hear him in the "Forza del destino" that will open the season, presents a chamber music evening with a programme of refined layout. In Paris, there is a change of atmosphere, with two famous musicals that will also accompany the public during the festive season.
Bolzano
On the 19th at the Auditorium a special opportunity to hear pianist Beatrice Rana in Ravel's 'Concerto in G', with the Haydn Orchestra conducted by Michele Spotti. Also on the programme are Ravel's "Pavane pour une infante défunte", also by Ravel, and Bizet's "Symphony in C major", a masterpiece written when the composer was only seventeen years old (!).
Other dates: in Milan on the 20th at the Conservatorio for the Società dei Concerti; on the 21st at the Teatro Sociale in Rovigo; on the 23rd at the Auditorium Santa Chiara in Trento.
Milan
On the 24th at La Scala, an evening of singing with baritone Ludovic Tézier, with pianist Julius Drake. A very fine programme, with Schumann's 'Dichterliebe' cycle of Lieder, on poems by Heine; Wagner's five 'Wesendonck-Lieder', two of which are 'Studies' for 'Tristan und Isolde'; and three mélodies by Duparc, one of which is on a poem by Baudelaire.
Paris
From 20 November to 2 January at the Théâtre du Châtelet the musical "Les Misérables", a new production, in French (with English surtitles), based on the famous 19th century novel by Victor Hugo. The planetary success of this musical is well known. On this occasion, the author of the dialogues and songs, Alain Boublil, took over the original text, which he had written in 1980, intervening in about a third of the text. This musical is stylistically close to opera; the author is Claude-Michel Schönberg.
