Roberto Bolle & Nicoletta Manni - Lovers’ Garden

La Scala, Milan, 2016 Music: Wolfang Amadeus Mozart La Scala String Quartet Choreography: Massimilano Volpini In the garden of a Baroque villa, a chamber orchestra is playing Mozarts wonderful quartets and quintets, and everywhere is pervaded with echoes and references to the composers world. As if by magic or conjured by the imagination, figures emerge from the shadows of the labyrinthine garden: they are Mozarts characters, and they play with or perhaps make fun of the guests at the party, embroiling them in their well-known amorous dalliances. With lightness and irony, this journey into the universe of Mozart tips its hat to the 1700s also with the scenery and costumes, and fills the garden with fun and passionate virtuoso dances, which follow each other dynamically and quickly with constant changes in the mood. Like in a dream where everything is jumbled together, where reality and illusion merge.
