Top:  "The piano sings Mascagni" piano versions by Ilio Barontini on the piano In collaboration with Sifare classical

Pietro Mascagni was born on 7 December 1863 in the very central Piazza delle Erbe (today Piazza Cavallotti) in Livorno : the Goldoni Foundation with the collaboration of the Mascagni Academy will commemorate this anniversary with the evening "Happy Birthday Mascagni " scheduled at the Teatro Goldoni on Wednesday 7 December, starting at 20, new appointment of the opera season .

"We celebrate the composer from Livorno with a concert that wants to be a tribute to the man and artist through his works - affirms the Director of the Goldoni Mario Menicagli - some famous others from the rarer listening, which marked and influenced an important period for music opera and its development in Italy and in the world. The anniversary, as we have structured it, wants to be a moment not only of remembrance, but of proposal, with a program that highlights the richness and innovative strength of its musical language. This is how our commitment to the knowledge and enhancement of Pietro Mascagni and his Theater continues, which I recall incidentally will see the Livorno Tradition Theater also involved in the production of a new staging of his opera Di lui The masksin the period of the next Carnival as well as the activity of the Academy of high specialization on its repertoire from which the soloists of the evening concert come”. Protagonists , under the careful guidance of a director established in Italy and abroad as Valerio Galli , recently applauded in Gounod 's Faust at the Detroit Opera House and awaited in Stuttgart and San Diego in Puccini's Tosca , will be Noemi Umani soprano , Mae Hayashi mezzo-soprano and Vladmir Reutov tenor ; Orchestra and choral laboratory of Goldoni, M° of the choir Maurizio Preziosi .

"We will listen to a beautiful and forgotten Mascagna page - says the musicologist Fulvio Venturi - like the fourth act of Parisina , born from Mascagni's love for Gabriele d'Annunzio's verses on the story of Ugo d'Este and Parisina Malatesta that the poet had already written for some years. In contact with the winged verses of D'Annunzio, Mascagni's inspiration flew very high and Parisinareceived the trappings of a masterpiece, but also a length which, after the Scala première on 14 December 1913, seemed excessive to the short-sighted Italian music critics of the time and which led the composer from Livorno to drastic cuts, including the entire act which will be proposed for the 'occasion". The program then consists of other moments of notable interest and unusual attendance, from the epic interlude of Nero to the popular interlude from L'amico Fritz , the lunar chorus of the Sailors from Silvano , the refined chorus of the Olandesine from Lodoletta and the famous "Prayer" from Cavalleria rusticana .

Original the opening that will be entrusted to the pianist Ilio Barontini , with "The piano sings Mascagni" , his piano elaboration of some Mascagna vocal melodies: "By entering Mascagni's compositions we discover a style that participates in the literary and artistic climate of the late nineteenth century such as Symbolism and Aestheticism – writes Caterina Barontini, daughter of the pianist – Ilio Barontini's piano versions highlight the musical richness of pieces originally written for voice and piano, already interpreted by internationally renowned singers”. Thus we will listen to Your star , Love's pain , Ballad , Ave Maria ,Serenata , with the concluding Invocation to the Madonna , Mascagni's homage to his hometown, composed during a pilgrimage to Montenero in August 1932.
