It has been chosen by The Independent (15 aprile 2007): The top ten must-do , must-see in Italy, This is also due to the fact that our representations don’t last more than 90 minutes and are extremely pleasant thanks to the structure of our cosy theatre - found in the historic centre and very close to the Pantheon- which is going to celebrate its centenary. Due to the current experience and the interest shown by the audience: a very usable and appreciable product.“Analyze, read over, decompose in order then to recompose some masterpieces, adding - instead of subtracting - other suggestions, deriving from literature and other disciplines of the show, says Rossana Siclari, this is the formula of the Piccola Lirica: to highlight the strong feelings of the works, the contrasts and all the elements that made it such a popular kind. The tradition must be safeguarded all the way because this operation challenges every convention”. Challenging conventions consists in representing the classical masterpieces, traditionally showed in the opera houses, in a small historical theatre, having them executed by young singers and musicians selected in competitions and conservatoires : artists with a future rather than a past; conceptually interpreting through dynamic scenes and light-designs, places and feelings, giving back to the public all the emotion - amplified just by the close contact with the scene.</span><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial; color: black;" lang="EN-GB"> <o:p></o:p></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: "Palatino Linotype"; color: black;" lang="EN-US">“This perspective is topical and will indicate a turning point in the history of the opera performances. The opera needs to exit its huge theatres, where a seat costs a fortune, and the young people, used to the foregrounds of cinema and television, can’t even distinguish the faces of singers, as they are very far from the stage and from the orchestra. The opera must slim itself, win back the privacy of the small theatres”.</span><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: "Palatino Linotype"; color: black;" lang="EN-US"> </span><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: "Palatino Linotype"; color: black;" lang="EN-US"><span style=""> </span>( <i>Maestro Gian Carlo Menotti, composer and founder of the Two Worlds Festival, Spoleto</i>).</span><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial; color: black;" lang="EN-GB"><o:p></o:p></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><b><i><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: "Palatino Linotype"; color: black;" lang="EN-GB">"Piccola Lirica: the top ten must-do must-see in </span></i></b><st1:country-region><st1:place><b><i><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: "Palatino Linotype"; color: black;" lang="EN-GB">Italy</span></i></b></st1:place></st1:country-region><b><i><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: "Palatino Linotype"; color: black;" lang="EN-GB">.</span></i></b><i><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: "Palatino Linotype"; color: black;" lang="EN-GB"> <b>“</b> ( The Independent, 15 april2007) <o:p></o:p></span></i></p>
