[Music]

good morning to all, certainly the world

of the work may seem like a world

far, yet we

we will find out today how it is

incredibly close to us as there

it belongs as it is part of the languages

of our time and how it participates in the

renewal of the show and the

Arts

first of all I would like you to understand how one

object that seems so far

distant ancient can be one

extraordinary open laboratory of

creative energies where they react and yes

find energies ferments of languages

contemporary artistic works ranging from

sound the image to the movement to the

electronic image space la

video art at the singing of course for

become an amazing show

current what it takes first of all

to create this laboratory a nice one

theater a theater like this this is

the municipal theater of bologna the theater

of this city is one of the most beautiful

theaters of the world with acoustics

legendary but above all it is a

jewel of architecture of 1700

created in 1763 by the star arches

of the era antonio galli bibiena così

how it was conceived realized is

remained to this day ever

damaged is a theater that has

extraordinary acoustics because that

architect wanted it to be one

extraordinary instrument a kind of

great help that resonates and can

create harmony and sound atmospheres

immensely beautiful this theater is

come up to us we inherit it

we take and want to turn it into

that laboratory of contemporaneity of

I told you about a theater that has

these features needs

have within the great elements

artistic

the first of these is an orchestra

an orchestra is an extraordinary one

element a sound project one

extraordinary sound energy that yes

propagates

from many instruments that play together

that concert together precisely that

they work together every day for each

its part to create what you do

calls a symphony or the art of

play together and the music and art of

put all these things together

an art like the one we saw

belongs to the work of the laboratories that

belongs to the work of the team here is the

theater is a great team is a big one

workshop where a team of artists and

music professionals work

together an orchestra is undoubtedly the

main engine of this great

laboratory and then what a chorus is needed

a m a group of important voices that yes

join the tools to enter

within this large factory of

sound production a factory of

sounds of images of dreams but

especially of emotions

here is what is an opera house

here’s how we have to watch it we have to

just look at it with this idea that the

music of the past

the music of mozart green rossini

bellini donizetti puccini wagner and then

gradually until our time it is something

which belongs to a show

incredibly modern and see you later

because this work is incredibly

modern it takes another thing because

this lab is complete one

stage a stage with gods

technicians who work to create these

extraordinary emotions to create these

extraordinary as we can say

vibrations that become figures that

they become scenes that become images

that become history that become

I tell a story that concerns us

think for example of the works of

giuseppe verdi

think for example of a work like

rigoletto a work that stages a

hunchback is something that belongs

this work has a great one

revolution to the great revolutions

social

enter the scene the poor enter

scene the derelicts enter the scene

oppressed the marginalized

they were over and almost two centuries ago when

this work was composed slightly less than

two centuries ago

in short, a world was a different world

in which the oppressed never had

had the qualification of protagonists

rigoletto is a hunchback la traviata is one

blue prostitute the gypsy of the

indeed troubadour and we can say

an ex-communitarian today we would say well

they are not the demigods are not of demigods

of wagner

they are not the great heroes they are a humanity

near to us

and think of these works as they speak to us

what do they tell us in the role that

still is so important today of the

relationship between the clans of the roles as well

important today of the relationships between them

social classes and the marginalized

they are works that continue to tell

their stories

in our time and we listening to them

we better understand who we are

we understand our conditions better

we better understand our history of

men in our time of ours

society and help us to get into certain

mechanisms that perhaps we had given for

asserted that perhaps we do not have too much

present and more this one music

wonderful music a music that there

I’m still current

when we listen to these works

we find, for example, the roots of so much

popular music the very pop rock jazz

that we listen to every day in the

acoustic bombardment of which we are

victims even unaware you know the

ears do not have eyelids and therefore not

we can defend ourselves so by closing the

eyes at the same time as

we close our ears instead to the

contrary

the work makes us enter the world

extraordinary of sounds tells us

listen to it is an invitation to listen

it’s an invitation to go to a music that

it is never trivial to a music that

we discover and discover it also gives us

the idea of ​​being real explorers

sound explorers

here is what we should become

sound explorers in a city

open

this and bologna is a beautiful one

city ​​in whose heart there is a theater

extraordinary that produces works and

emotions

an open city and like the theater

it is open and must be open to

citizens

to all the protagonists of the society of

today no more than once

an opera house only for a few

opera house for everyone where to go to

learn to listen to live emotions

we have never lived and therefore a

theater for students

a theater that today where young people today

students must become

protagonists of an audience

of the future that appropriates this

genre throughout Europe today young people

crowd the opera houses because

the work has become the new key

of the intermediate show you watch

I do not use the multimedia word and it is not

a case

multimedia means selling

Products sell items that have more

media that can express themselves

at the same time intermediality wants

say use multimedia

multimedia as a language

say create new projects where i

media work as a project of one

new form of art

the intermediate art and the work is art

intermediate of our time

here’s what can become a theater

a large container is also a workpiece

Been the dix also to bring these

themes at the municipal theater of bologna

in a very recent meeting a great one

meeting the topics of the economy

of society must enter the theater

and therefore new social strata

even the marginalized people he spoke of

greens today are part of our time

they must be in a theater for that too

they welcome them and tell them

that explains to him what goes on coming

staged and then new media

I said an intermediate art one

stage beautifully open a

these forms where screens elements of the

electronic music space converse with

the orchestra instruments and with that

chorus that he had seen that you saw

first and then the theater that can come out

of course because the theater is not

theater only of a physical place but the

theater of all of all and of all

therefore here are the spaces that the work can

invade the squares and public places

the streets the arcades all this does

part of a different way of life and of

listen to the opera theater that must

to be lived just like a new one

central artistic and creative energy

now let’s see this in this in this

image we see a beautiful

our realization that sir

called ildebrando d’arcangelo is one of the

most important basses of our time e

seems to say come to the theater and

above all it seems to invite all those

that are external to being part of

participate in this rite this was

attila di giuseppe verdi that is certainly a

he was a great conqueror of

instructor but we would rather like that

was the symbol of this new beginning

of this new beginning also in the world

of the opera house and now we see

what can happen

putting together on a stage

many young people this is a misguided

made with the young people of the school

of the work of the municipal theater of

bologna a training center that does

understand how to work with young people today

it means to put new creativity

within the great repertoire

classic repertoire new energy

repertoire of the past, however, action

new stage and so in action

we will also find the new sounds

because the work does not end with greens

puccini wagner etc. but it comes up

nowadays composers today

they write opera and now let’s go see

just the creative aspects

this is a beautiful project that

we have done recently and that is one

of the most important authors of the world yes

he calls Bob Wilson one of the biggest

directors artists creators designers who has

staged not anything else

that macbeth of giuseppe verdi

we see it immediately look at how it is

to complete the work as if it were a

object of contemporary art and design

these are the hole that plots for

kill jump in the macbeth

[Music]

look at this object that goes up there is a

great artist of today called

elia sony seems almost like a created object

from a pause as a record plays them

[Music]

too much

and look at the laser line in front of

neon laser that seems to create a

ideal diaphragm between the dark and the scene

naturally the public is a species

threshold a kind of gates that separates

the world of fiction from the world of

reality but at the same time unites them in

a kind of great architecture

bright this was a big wilson bob

artist who becomes the protagonist of

a work of great repertoire like

macbeth of greens and now let’s see a bit

next I was saying about this stage

where the energies react

here on this stage they react

who created and contemporary

and it is not lowered and divisions

a work that speaks of jewelry that does not

they are only physical walls but they are also

cultural ideals

this is david moss one of the biggest

journalists of our time

[Music]

from the graffiti artists who

they fight closures that fight

this is a territory that becomes

quality root good music

the composer as andrea molino who has

wrote this work which becomes one

real work as we can say of

presence also fighter on a theater

opera and protest here is not there

because now we come to the last of the gods

examples that I wanted to show you

on today’s work on the work as

Intermediate language is

of the work the yellow sound a text of

kandinsky played by alessandro

solemnate a composer of today with the

scenes created by gianni gave another

artist one of the protagonists of art

Contemporary

[Music]

here you see that the theater becomes

really something very similar to a

total art project

there was already talk of total art

in the work but today it becomes something of

different becomes an art that interprets

also the psychological tensions the rhythms

inner pulsations of all that

that happens around us

it makes us think and makes us understand that the work

it is really the language that looks

towards the future that only hair

message only by appropriating this

message you can really understand how

the work can innovate can not bring

art is also the visual language

also the cinematic one too

the sound one

towards a new territory towards a new one

beginning

now just a new frontier

with this I want to leave you and you

I thank you for listening to me

[Applause]
