RICCARDO MUTI ITALIAN OPERA ACADEMY WITH FONDAZIONE PRADA IN MILAN – DECEMBER 4 TO 15, 2021
Milan, 11 June 2021 – The seventh “Riccardo Muti Italian Opera Academy”, for the first time organized in collaboration with Fondazione Prada, will take place in Milan from the 4th to the 15th of December 2021. The public will be able to take part to the whole rehearsal process and TO THE concerts that will be focused on Nabucco, conducted by Maestro Riccardo Muti.
The wide and adaptable spaces of Deposito within Fondazione Prada’s venue will welcome Riccardo Muti, who will conduct the Orchestra Giovanile Luigi Cherubini and undertake a training project addressed to young conductors and répétiteurs from all over the world. Among hundreds of applications arrived through an open call valid up to June 25, 2021, participants will be selected by an examining board chaired by Maestro Muti. Candidates are required to have an age between 18 and 35 years and to be graduated in Conducting or Piano, in Italy or abroad. The project consists of rehearsals with singers, readings, orchestra rehearsals and the final performance of Giuseppe Verdi’s Nabucco as a concert.
The public will be able to attend the piano introduction of the opera with Riccardo Muti on the 4th of December, the rehearsals that will take place from the 5th to the 11th of December and the final concerts on December, 14 and 15. Riccardo Muti will conduct the first concert and he will present the second one, which will be conducted by the young conductors.
Tickets will be available starting from September on the website of Fondazione Prada.
The focus on musical education of young generations has always been a key aspect in Muti’s artistic activity. Through the Italian Opera Academy established in 2015, he intends to transfer to young musicians what he learned from great masters, along an ideal line that connects him to Giuseppe Verdi through Arturo Toscanini and his teacher Antonino Votto. Riccardo Muti will work on Nabucco at the piano, from the podium and with the orchestra in close contact with talented young musicians he will have personally selected. The secrets of musical construction are passed on from Maestro to the students in a natural symbiosis leading them together to the final goal of interpretation. Some participants of the six previous editions of the Academy have conducted the Orchestra Luigi Cherubini and currently work with some of the most prestigious international orchestras.
The collaboration with Riccardo Muti and his Academy allows Fondazione to expand its activities by taking an interest in classical music, after having presented a project that explored electronic music and other music genres between 2018 and 2019. It also represents the opportunity to strengthen a dialogue with young artists engaged in an intense experience of learning and research. Thanks to this initiative, Fondazione Prada aims to develop an even more incisive role towards young generations in the belief that study is one of the most effective tools for artistic and personal growth.
Riccardo Muti Music (RMMUSIC) conceived and created the “Riccardo Muti Italian Opera Academy” in 2015. Since then, it has followed the organization in Italy and Japan, where thenproject has been presented from 2019 in collaboration with the Spring Festival of Tokyo. As in the previous years, RMMUSIC will be engaged in recording the entire process of
rehearsals and concerts of the Academy to transform it into an audiovisual product aiming to make the experience available to an even wider audience, through the media.
