CantidiNapolinscena ….
(songs of Naples on
stage)
Naples has been singing for ages: in every time, at all events, Naples has
a song to exalt its joys and beauties, to comfort its sorrows and
miseries…..Wars, governments, misfortunes, triumphs, invasions,
liberations: everything comes to an end…..Naples last for ever: still and
timeless. Is life a theatre? And Naples laughs, applauds, yawns,
whistles…..And sings. In its most famous songs of all time there is its
portraits and some of its history……
It’s a show full of
charm and humorous grace notes that engage the heart.
Francesca and Amelia
Rondinella artistic interpreters of Neapolitan music belong to a family
that has carried on a tradition of musical performance extending from the
early 19th century to its current feast of the Neapolitan musical
tradition in all its variety.
Everything is
included from the classic soulful emotional melodies of long popular
favourites, to the bravura variety show pieces from the late 19th century,
to the “café chantant” chanteuses and show girls gracefully styled
charming songs, to the sprightly folk music of the tarantelle and the
tammurriate singing accompanied by the tammorra and the tamburello.
Their performances have been appreciated all around Italy in theatres and
festivals; abroad in London, Berlin, Montecarlo and recently in Moscow at
the “Galina Vishnevskaya Opera Theatre”.
An authentic Naples
full of vibrant songs, music and poems
with the Rondinella
sisters.
