La Dama in Porpora

  • CRED 33 Via Sant'Andrea Lucca, Toscana, 55100 Italy (map)

You are invited to the Concert-Show "The Lady in Purple," or, Travel Letters for a Lady." The show is an intense, ironic and visionary monologue that blends history with theatrical and musical virtuosity, retracing Handel's life through the eyes of prima donna Vittoria Tarquini.

Synopsis The story unfolds in Roman salons, German courts, and London trattorias—three stations in the memory of Vittoria and the young George Frideric Handel. The protagonist reconstructs her story, while the letters of the "Saxon" act as detonators of memories. Music, constantly evoked, meanders through the words. We look forward to seeing you!
