Fanny Brice has everything it takes to be Broadway’s next big thing: the voice, the charm and more than a little chutzpah. But does she have “the look?” This touching comedy explores her unlikely rise to stardom with the Ziegfeld Follies as well as her turbulent love life with gambler Nick Arnstein. One of the greatest musical scores of all time, Funny Girl includes classics like “Don’t Rain on My Parade”, “I’m the Greatest Star”, “People” and much more.

Funny Girl

Festival Theatre

Between the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, a new genre of theatrical performance emerged in the United States: the musical . Its birth dates back to September 12, 1866, when The Black Crook premiered at Niblo's Garden Theatre in New York . It was the result of a collaboration between two companies that had previously been unable to perform: the first, a singing and dancing company from Europe, unable to find a suitable venue, and the second, a drama company, due to excessive production costs. Derived from European operetta and adapted to American tastes, this show consists of a comedy, generally brilliant, set in America, whose onstage action is enhanced by acting, singing, dancing, and music—elements that are not fused but rather integrated and harmonized with one another. The musical is the protagonist of this concert in which we will be able to listen to some hits starting from All That Jazz , the opening song of Chicago  (1975) by  John Kander , which became so famous that it gave its title to the 1979 film All That Jazz.   Equally famous is the song  Being Alive , sung at the end of the second act by Robert, a thirty-five year old bachelor, the protagonist of the musical  Company  (1970) by  Stephen Joshua Sondheim . Sung by the character Albin Mougeotte at the end of the first act of the musical Cage aux folles (1983) by Jerry Herman , is I am what I am, whose lyrics, which exalt diversity, have become a sort of anthem for the LGBT community, while, inspired by the famous novel by Gaston Leroux, The Phantom of the Opera (1986) was composed by  Andrew Lloyd Webber , in collaboration with Charles Hart, author of the songs' lyrics, and Richard Stilgoe, who wrote the libretto and additional lyrics. On this occasion, a medley of the musical's main songs will be performed. The musical Guys and Dolls ,  set in the picturesque and sinful New York of the 1940s, dates back to 1950, and was composed by  Frank Henry Loesser  , who also wrote the lyrics . It is simply the namesake of the great composer and founder of the Second Viennese School, Claude-Michel Schönberg.   è, invece, un cantante, produttore teatrale e compositore francese, che si è dedicato alla composizione di musical dalla fine degli anni ’70. In questo periodo Alain Boublil propose a Schönberg di scrivere le musiche per un suo adattamento teatrale del celebre romanzo di Hugo, Les misérables che debuttò a Parigi nel 1980, attirando l’attenzione del produttore Cameron Mackintosh. Questi propose a Schönberg di mettere in musica una versione inglese dello stesso musical, che debuttò a Londra nel 1985 e a Broadway nel 1986. Non presente nella versione francese, ma collocata nel cuore del secondo atto di quella inglese, Bring him home è uno dei brani vocalmente più complessi del mondo del musical, nel quale il protagonista Jean Valjean prega Dio di salvare il giovane Marius Montmercy dai pericoli della rivolta. Basato sul libro di Thomas Stearns Elliot, Il libro dei gatti tuttofare, una raccolta di poesie che avevano come protagonisti i gatti, il musical Cats (1981) di Andrew Lloyd Webber è uno dei più grandi successi della storia del genere. La sua canzone più famosa, Memory, nota anche grazie alle incisioni di Elaine Paige e di Barbara Streisand, però, si avvale di un testo scritto da Trevor Nunn che si ispirò alla poesia di Eliot, Rapsodia su una notte di vento. In quest’occasione sarà eseguita anche l’ouverture, che si presenta come un medley dei principali brani. Già nel 1949 Leonard Bernstein e i suoi amici Jerome Robbins e Arthur Laurents avevano pensato di scrivere un musical che avesse per soggetto la shakespeariana storia di Giulietta e Romeo ambientata in una moderna New York. Il progetto del musical, il cui libretto fu scritto da Arthur Laurents, fu realizzato solo otto anni dopo e la prima rappresentazione, avvenuta al Winter Gardens Theater di Broadway, il 26 settembre del 1957, fu un tale successo da assicurare una fama imperitura come compositore a Bernstein. In questo concerto sarà possibile ascoltare un medley dei principali brani di West Side Story. Composto da Stephen Joshua Sondheim nel 1973, A little Night Music, ambientato in Svezia, dove si assiste a un intreccio di relazioni sentimentali che si consumano durante un weekend estivo, è il suo musical più famoso. Send in the clowns è una pagina piena di malinconia e di autoironia. Famoso per le sue elegantissime melodie, Richard Charles Rodgers fu uno dei più grandi compositori di musical. Tra i suoi lavori spiccano Carousel, composto nel 1945 su libretto di Oscar Hammerstein e ambientato sulla costa del Maine, dove si assiste a una storia d’amore e di redenzione, e South Pacific (1949) che, ambientato, invece, durante la Seconda Guerra Mondiale, esplora l’incontro tra culture diverse del Pacifico. Composto su testi di Tim Rice da Benny Andersson e Björn Ulvaeus, importanti membri del gruppo svedese degli ABBA e rappresentato per la prima volta a Londra e a Broadway nel 1986, Chess si basa su una partita di scacchi tra un campione statunitense e uno sovietico. Posto alla fine del primo atto, Anthem è una delle pagine più intense, nelle quali il campione russo Anatoly in fuga cerca di distinguere tra lo Stato e la Patria. Conclude il concerto il brano Superstar, la pagina più iconica a chiusura del musical Jesus Christ Superstar (1971) di Andrew Lloyd-Webber su testo di Tim Rice, nel quale è espresso il senso filosofico dell’intero spettacolo.

This year, too, the Sicilian Symphony Orchestra will celebrate Christmas with its audience through a special event. The program offers a fascinating and rich musical journey through the universal soundtrack of this important Christian holiday. The concert opens with Leroy Anderson's rousing " Sleigh Ride" (1946), renowned for his descriptive use of percussion, evoking the sound of horses trotting and the cracking of whips on the snow. Later, the same composer will perform " A Christmas Festival ," a rhapsodic overture that interweaves the most famous traditional carols. A profound sense of intimacy and nostalgia emanates from the pieces created during the dramatic years of the Second World War. This is the case of White Christmas , composed by Irving Berlin in 1940 and performed for the first time the following year during the program The Kraft Music Hall , and of I'll Be Home for Christmas  (1943) by Walter Kent, whose lyrics feature a soldier stationed abroad who writes to his family. This trend is joined by the poignant sweetness of Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas  by Hugh Martin and Ralph Blane, originally introduced by Judy Garland in the famous musical film Meet Me in St. Louis  (1944).

Concerto Di Natale

New York isn’t just the setting, it’s a main character. Experience 1930s and 40s Manhattan through music that moves like the city itself: brassy, fast-talking, tender when it counts, and always on the move. Gershwin’s concerto for piano swings between Charleston rhythm and back-alley blues, while On the Town embodies subway rush, park-bench hush, and Times Square buzz. Gypsy lifts the curtain, and Porgy & Bess — a defining American work rooted in Black musical tradition — brings the program home, showcasing Broadway in its prime: glamour and grit, lights blazing, and the city wide awake.
