Young Artists and the Opera
"The Secret Marriage"
INTRODUCTION
Celebrating the allure of opera, young musicians and singers from prestigious Universities
in Europe and Turkey collaborate in artistic workshops culminating in a series of
performances staging the fresh and exciting Italian opera "The secret marriage"
by the great Italian composer Domenico Cimarosa. The energy of youth, the richness
of cultures and the universal language of music all come together in a Euro-Mediterranean
partnership from Italy, Turkey, the Czech Republic, Lithuania, Poland and Portugal
which touches the hearts of the audience.
ARTISTIC WORKSHOPS
In 2009 in Ankara, talented young musicians and singers taking part in the activity
participated in master classes and rehearsals to study this opera in all its musical
aspects. They have also shared human, cultural and musical experiences to forge
cooperation between the new generations, which is one of the aims of the activity
for a long lasting intercultural dialogue among youth fostering the development
of the musical arts in Turkey and in Europe. These workshops also continued in 2010
in Riva Del Garda-Italy and the Prague-Czech Republic with a focus on chamber music
and instrument master classes. One of the main objectives of the workshops and the
activity is to help young artists on the way to their professional growth through
the exchange of cultural, national and regional experiences.
PERFORMANCES
"Il matrimonio segreto" toured in Turkey during the summer of 2009. A further performance
took place in the summer of 2010 in Prague in the Czech Republic. The freshness
of the performers and the opera itself charmed thousands of opera fans, showcasing
intercultural dialogue through the arts. The 6 singers and the orchestra, composed
of 35 musicians, were conducted by M° Damiano Giuranna, President of Musica Europa.
