Francesco at the Manzoni theatre of Busto Arsizio

back

The autumn season being well started, there are already two months that the representation of the lauda takes place henceforth inside the Italian theaters through the whole country. This necessary adaptation to the meteorological conditions has also modified the atmosphere of the show. First, it is now about a completely purified artistic work, with less dancers but a production more enriched where Angelo implies himself more on stages than before. He still entertains us his magnificent songs that punctuate the acting of the actors in a beautiful way, and go on thus to relate with his delighting voice the path of faith of San Francesco. The lauda has acquired a real enthralling rhythm for the spectator especially as the harmony between the place and the acting of the dancers, the actors and musicians has reached a perfect cohesion. The marvelous and fairy side set off even more in an enclosed space because here, the scholarly game of lights takes all its sense and a beautiful fullness. Is it necessary to tell about the numerous applause of a again delighted public that didn't miss to recall the Lombard troubadour and his magic violin. This show hasn't lost in anything its specificity and its originality in spite of its progress in more conventional places… the public was not mistaken of it since all seats were occupied and newcomers of last minute left well disappointed.. The lauda… a big privileged moment to not to miss!
