Live concert from the historical Cervantes Institute in Naples to celebrate Naple's Music with ANTIGONA ENSEMBLE composed by Emanuela de Rosa (Mezzo Soprano), Adrianalfonso Pappalardo (Transverse Flute), Salvatore Scafarto (Guitar), Monia Massa (Cello).

Program: "Usurpator tiranno": Sances - "e la don don" - "Villancico spagnolo ( anonimo)" - "Lamento della Ninfa: Monteverdi" - "Ya Los caballos: C. Galan" - "Rimerico florido: M. Romero" - "Vuelva Barquilla: ( Anonimo)" - "Avecilla, si picas: J. Gaz" - "Fandango: Nicola Fago"

The Program presented by the Antigona Ensemble for the opening of the Festival wants to be a journey into linguistic and stylistic combinations between the Neapolitan and Iberian musical culture between the 500s and 600s, with its stylistic features, innovations and harmonic evolutions, which in those years, found its highest development with the new genre of the "Villanella" and "Villancico".
Authors such as Sances and Monteverdi have also been included in the musical program, as the pieces that will be performed contain elements of the oral singing tradition of the Napoletan music culture, and let the voice abandon itself in the "chorality" of the other accompanying instruments, in line with the "Villancico" proposed.

Cast: Emanuela de Rosa (Mezzo Soprano); Adrianalfonso Pappalardo (Transverse Flute); Salvatore Scafarto (Guitar); Monia Massa (Cello)
