It has just won the Olivier Award in London; we can also see it in Paris, at the famous (and renovated) Lido2: it is the musical 'Titanique', a hilarious parody of the film, with all the hits of Céline Dion. Instead, a classic like 'Jesus Christ Superstar' returns to Rome. The Dimore del Quartetto are always very active and make us discover the Antica Torre Tornabuoni in Florence.

Paris

From 24 April to 22 June at Lido2 the musical 'Titanique', in English with French surtitles. Fresh from the Olivier Prize (the highest award in English theatre), this very funny show lands in the capital, where we discover that Céline Dion was on board the Titanic; that she is still alive, bursting into the Titanic Museum to tell tourists how it really went down between Jack and Rose. A delirious, camp, gayo, over-the-top musical unfolds. A brazen parody of the film, with fireworks of irreverent humour, heavy double entendres, improvisations with the audience, and all of Céline Dion's greatest hits. It opens with I'm Alive and concludes with (what else) My Heart Will Go On - including River Deep, Mountain High, aptly sung by Tina Turner (none other than the notorious Iceberg but in female guise, impersonated en travesti by a sailor we have already met).

 

 

Rome

From 17 to 27 April at the Sistina Theatre the famous musical "Jesus Christ Superstar", by Andrew Lloyd Webber and Tim Rice. A Sistina production, signed by Massimo Romeo Piparo, in English. It is the last days of Christ - but seen through the eyes of Judas. He appears to us more as a radical political activist than the Son of God. He is a rebel: what music at that time (1973) is more suitable, then, than rock? The first eight songs present us with as many themes, of melodic richness and rhythmic energy, which will then be reused several times in the score, amidst echoes of Bill Haley's rock and the tradition of torch songs - but also some hints of Bernstein and Rodgers.
