RICCARDO MUTI ROSA FEOLA

July 1990: on a stage set up inside the Rocca Brancaleone fortress, Riccardo Muti raised his wand to open the first edition of the Ravenna Festival. Thirty years later, that very place will host music’s return to the Italian stage since the Covid-19 lockdown, when Italians and citizens worldwide were invited to self-isolate at home while theatres were closed and orchestras were silenced. Italy will start again from here, from a 15th-century Venetian fortress in the heart of Ravenna. The first sign of hope and unwavering confidence will come from Maestro Muti, who, once again, will stand on the podium of “his” Cherubini Youth Orchestra to conduct his favourite Mozart. The programme opens with Skrjabin’s Rêverie op. 24, a miniature orchestral work composed in total secrecy in 1898 and enthusiastically received by Rimsky-Korsakov. From here it shifts to Mozart’s virtuoso showpiece for sopranos, the famous motet Exsultate jubilate, composed in Milan in 1773 and now entrusted to the talented Rosa Feola. This will be followed by the ecstatic lyricism of Et incarnatus est, from the Great Mass in C minor: an almost pastoral scene, permeated by a naive, pure, unconditional love for humanity. And then, projected into the future, here’s Mozart’s symphonic bequest: leaving his failures and disappointments behind, the composer found a source of miraculous vitality and delivered a score of majestic, Olympic greatness, well deserving its nickname of Jupiter.

Era il luglio del 1990, quando Riccardo Muti sul palcoscenico allestito alla Rocca Brancaleone levava la bacchetta a inaugurare la prima edizione di Ravenna festival, esattamente trent’anni fa e nello stesso luogo che oggi ospita la “rinascita” della musica dal vivo dopo i lunghi mesi di quel lockdown che per combattere l’epidemia ha costretto tutti gli italiani, insieme al resto del mondo, a isolarsi, i teatri a chiudere, le orchestre a tacere. Dunque, il nostro Paese ricomincia da qui, dalla quattrocentesca fortezza veneziana incastonata nel cuore della città, e a dare il primo segno di speranza e di incrollabile fiducia è di nuovo il maestro Muti sul podio della “sua” giovane Orchestra Cherubini, confidando nel prediletto Mozart. Perché dopo la prima, timida e segreta prova d’orchestra del giovane Skrjabin, una breve miniatura scritta nel 1898 che tanto piacque a Rimskij-Korsakov, ecco che la scena si apre al genio mozartiano, chiamando a intervenire la voce: al talento di Rosa Feola è affidato il celebre virtuosistico mottetto composto proprio in Italia, nel 1773, a Milano, poi l’estatico, cullante lirismo dell’Et incarnatus est, dalla Missa Solemnis, quasi una scena pastorale, permeata dell’ingenuità di un amore puro, incondizionato per l’umanità. Così come nel futuro si proietta il suo estremo lascito sinfonico con cui il compositore sembra lasciarsi alle spalle insuccessi e delusioni attingendo a una miracolosa fonte di vitalità musicale con maestosa, olimpica grandezza – Jupiter, appunto.
