From July 8 till August 27, Ravello Festival proposes like every year about 50 events, offering attractive performances such as classic music concerts, ballets, meetings with writers and various art exhibitions, tributes to traditional Neapolitan music.
The events will be hosted by Villa Eva, Oscar Niemeyer Auditorium (opened since less than a year), Villa Cimbrone, Hotel Rufolo, Hotel Caruso and Hotel Palumbo Gardens. The festival is a journey throughout times, cultures and different traditions.
You can go from Arabic culture to Latin classical antiquity, from Far East to South America, to come back again in Europe and in Italy, savouring variegated traditions, especially the Neapolitan one.
Every moment was planned trying to experiment a new life style, based on introspection, ethics and aesthetics. Among the eminent music guests we have the Tribunal Mist Jazz Band, Orchestra Philharmonique de Strasbourg, the Chinese pianist Hoachen Zang, the New York City Ballet, the composer and jazz trumpeter Wynton Marsalis, Michel Tabachnk (Belgium Symphonic Orchstra main conductor), Teatro alla Scala String Quartet, the pianist Michele Campanella.
One of the most long-awaited date will undoubtedly be the Dawn Concert, when the miracle of the sky announcing the brand new day will blend with the never-ending enchantment of the notes of Gluck, Mozart, Schubert, Mendelssohn, Mahler and R.Strauss, played by FVG Mitteleuropa Orchestra.
The 2011 Edition will be closed by the preview of “Ulysses Journeys”, mythological concert written and directed by Nicola Piovani, Oscar prize for “La vita è bella” sound track.
The journey will go on through Neapolitan song thanks to Peppe Servillo & the Solis String Quartet and an unpublished reading, in a performance shape, of “Hanno tutti ragione”, literary debut of the very clever director Paolo Sorrentino.
Toeing the Festival line, there will also be meetings with astrophysicists, sociologists and geneticists who will propose their own interpretation of the journey theme, such as time and space journeys.
