The music historian Paolo Isotta brings to this edition of Napoli Teatro Festival Italia an event featuring four meetings (lectiones magistrales) in four evenings: Rossini, 1868 – 2018. Lineamenti del genio (June 25, at 19.00); Alessandro Scarlatti, il padre della musica classica (June 26, at 19.00); Gli eredi diretti: Domenico Scarlatti, Pergolesi, Leo (June 27, at 19.00); Dioniso, l’origine del teatro, Dioniso a Napoli, Piedigrotta (June 28 at 19.00). «We feel it is a must to open the lectures on the Neapolitan School with a focus on Rossini, now that we are celebrating five hundred years from his birth. The new work sheds light on the History, and is carried out by those who already in 1974 had published a book dealing with the tragic creations of the author, once known as “the swan” of Pesaro».
