The ensemble of classic musicians that founded Musica a Palazzo
Musica a Palazzo, since 2005, have produced opera performances staged in the Palazzo Barbarigo Minotto, a Venetian Gothic palace facing the Grand Canal. The piano nobile of the palace, with its backdrop of frescoes by Tiepolo and sculptures by Carpoforo Tencalla, is its main performing space.[1] The performing style follows the 19th-century Italian practice of "Salotto Musicale" (Musical Salon). The operas are performed without a stage, with the audience becoming part of the scene.[2][3]
The program alternates famous operas, such as Verdi's La traviata and Rossini's The Barber of Seville,[4] with Duetti d'amore, a selection of love duets from La bohème, Tosca, Don Giovanni, Rigoletto and other popular operas.
Act 1 of La traviata at Palazzo Barbarigo Minotto. Starring: Antonella Meridda as Violetta
The musicians, a string trio and a piano, have performed in concert halls around the world, including Lincoln Center, Musikverein, La Scala and the Mozarteum. The ensemble staged La traviata at the Royal Pavilion during the 41st Brighton Festival[5] and won the Argus Angel Award for the best production of the festival.[6]
Although some other artists might be hired on particular occasions, the original "Musica a Palazzo Ensemble" is formed by:
Diego Revilla – violin[7]
Patrizia Di Paolo – viola[8]
Patrick Monticoli – cello[9]
Giovanni Dal Missier – piano[10]
