Il Sogno di Scipione
//
Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart
February // 2019
Teatro Malibran // Venice
// when two goddesses vie for his allegiance, a Roman general is faced with a thorny dilemma - but then his dead forefathers arrive to help make up his mind
// based on a book by Cicero, Mozart’s dramatic serenade was written at age 15 and neglected for the next two hundred years
// Teatro La Fenice and the Academy of Fine Arts students brought this theatrical action on stage to investigate the role of the people when the wrong individual gain power, with a subversive and thought-provoking production that maintains the dreamlike dimension of Mozart's composition
