Start time: 21:00
Place: Palazzo Albrizzi, Cannaregio 4118, Venezia.
Organizer: ACIT Venezia
The frivolities and affectedness of an age when powdered ladies and fatuously gallant cicisbei walked through the tempered cadences of the minuet are coming to new life in the Grand Gala opening the Carnival season at Palazzo Albrizzi.
Love games are interlaced with dances from the ballet Les Petits Riens with music by Mozart, choreography by Clara Santoni, and the performers of the Accademia della Danza di Venezia’s corps de ballet.
Countertenor Johannes Reichert, portraying Farinelli, performs arias from Artaserse by J. A. Hasse, while soprano Margitta Rosales expresses her virtuosity in Faustina Bordoni’s role, interpreting the “Canzoni da batelo” by the “Divine Saxon”.
Ladies and gentlemen in elegant historical costumes will be able to enjoy, in turn, the pleasure of ballet and mouth-watering delicacies: guests will be comfortably seated at candlelit tables before slipping into the carousel of gavottes, minuets, and contradances under the graceful guidance of the incomparable Clara Santoni, the renowned Maître de Danse who was recently hired with her dancers for the ballet scene in the Disney-Buena Vista film Casanova.
The sumptuous 18th Century salons of the Palazzo create a marvellous setting for this event, reinforced by Quartetto Barocco Regale’s period performances of the music of Vivaldi, Galuppi, and Mozart.
