Francesco in Riviera Gardone

back

It was a particular lauda, written down to the program of the Italian evening of the Vittoriale theater in the evening of August 5… The gorgeously calm place of the lake was ready for an evening all in deep harmonic nuances… All was ready for one evening placed under the sign of Francesco..

The decors in full air was already heightening the deep themes present in this spectacle. The destiny decided otherwise, bringing a thick rain after the first 20 minutes of representation. The agile ballerinas began to skip under the wet soil, the actors felt their clothes becoming an heavy empechment to their ample movements… Quickly, the acoustic electric devices have been covered by littles awnings in order to avoid a fatal discharge to the musicians of which the violinist with the naked feet was not the least… Sadly, the spectators began to protect themselves from rain and initiated to take refuge to the nearest bar… in few words, the spectacle seemed convicted to the aquatic limbs of the cancellation when sudden a relieved light appeared in the falling night. Rather than to leave the place and going out, Angelo chooses by respect for his public, to take advantage of the calm down to give an acoustic concert in company of davide and mihail. It’s enought to say that this turning around of the situation was managed in a very professional manner and the singer was welcomed by a salvo of applause by the rest of the irreducible surviving spectators of the drowning. And it was in truth, a beautiful concert, with gleeful titles as" alla fiera dell est ", "cercando l’oro ", and other song quieter like " la donna della sera"" angus the vagabond ", etc… The public was literally delighted with this surprised benefit and left the places, this time, definitely, with a smile to the lips…
