“TACI”, THE WORLD’S SHORTEST OPERA

“Taci”, ‘minimodrama’ for voice and orchestra written by Girolamo Deraco, composer and artistic director of ‘Cluster’ Contemporary Music association, has entered the history of music as the shortest opera ever written (it lasts eight seconds). The work (“absolute lyric gesture” as its author defines it) will be performed on Friday 23rd February at 8 pm at the Teatro del Giglio, as part of the “Dillo in sintesi- Festival delle brevità intelligenti”.”

Performers are the Città di Grosseto Symphony Orchestra conducted by Diego Sánchez Haase (director of the Orquesta Sinfónica of the Congreso Nacional del Paraguay) and soprano Maria Elena Romanazzi.

At 6 pm, also at the Theatre, there’s a listening guide, with Deraco, Romanazzi, Sánchez Haase, composer Luigi Esposito and musicologist Renzo Cresti, as the ‘provocateur’.

At 7 pm an aperitif will be offered to the public at the Teatro del Giglio.

At 8 pm the opera “Taci” will be performed.
