Leyla Gencer per Donizetti
La grande cantante commenterà la trilogia Tudor al Piccolo Regio
Acquista dunque un significato di compensazione la presenza della signora Gencer al mercoledì conclusivo della prima serie di ‹Itinerari donizettiani› (20 maggio, ore 17,30, ingresso libero), durante il quale commenterà i tre finali delle opere che costituiscono la trilogia Tudor (Anna Bolena, Maria Stuarda, Roberto Devereux), tornata all'onore delle scene nell'ultimo quarantennio proprio grazie al movimento di rinascita donizettiana.
Donizetti figura naturalmente - accanto a Sant'Ambrogio, Francesco Landini, Francesco Canova da Milano, Platti, Anfossi, Schubert, Pasta, Heine, Mendelssohn, Bazzini, Brahms, Gavazzeni, Castiglioni, Peragallo - fra i protagonisti delle quasi 700 pagine dedicate a Gli anniversari musicali del 1997. La presentazione del volume, edito dal Centro Culturale Rosetum di Milano, avverrà giovedì 21 alle ore 17,30 al Piccolo Regio con ingresso libero. Sarà incentrata su un altro di questi protagonisti, il torinese Alfredo Casella, del quale parleranno, anche con l'ascolto di alcune registrazioni musicali, Attilio Piovano, Piero Santi, curatore (con Potito Pedarra) del volume, e Anna Maria Morazzoni, autrice del saggio sui rapporti fra Casella e la Scuola di Vienna.
