IL TEATRO MUSICALE DI FABIO VACCHI : ANALISI DELL'OPERA 'LO SPECCHIO MAGICO'

The research project focused on the analysis of the work of Fabio Vacchi, born in Bologna in 1949, one of the most famous living Italian composers performed in Italy and abroad. The research was conducted mainly on the analysis of his musical theatre and in particular on the various stages of gestation of his new Opera “The Magic Mirror”, libretto by Aldo Nove. This Opera is going to be staged in 2016, based on a heterogeneous writing that involves even the urban vocal style used by rappers. The composer Vacchi used ethnic and folk matrices of the past and the present with reference to areas of the Western repertoire, merging the different materials in a contemporary and personal style. His musical language is communicative, evocative and emotional as consistent and rigorous.
