On February 1, 2025, the Goldoni Theater invites you to a unique evening with “Il romanzo della Bibbia” (The Novel of the Bible), a captivating exploration of the “book of books.” This extraordinary performance is brought to life by two renowned figures of Italian culture, Aldo Cazzullo and Moni Ovadia, alongside the talented composer and cellist Giovanna Famulari.
Aldo Cazzullo, celebrated writer and journalist, and Moni Ovadia, acclaimed actor, director, and activist, join forces to narrate and interpret the timeless stories of the Bible. Together, they weave a narrative that traverses some of the most iconic moments of the Old Testament—from the Creation to the fall of Sodom and Gomorrah, from Adam and Eve to Noah’s Ark, and from Abraham to Isaiah’s prophecy of the Messiah.
Ovadia’s readings, speeches, and songs, paired with Cazzullo’s insightful storytelling, create a profound dialogue that blends sacred texts with modern reflections. Adding to the evening’s magic is Giovanna Famulari’s music, a seamless blend of the sacred and contemporary, performed with her signature artistry.
This journey into the Bible also celebrates its impact on visual arts, a wellspring of inspiration for generations of great artists. With intelligence, passion, and a shared commitment to truth, Cazzullo and Ovadia invite the audience to rediscover the enduring wisdom and relevance of this unparalleled bestseller that transcends centuries and cultures.
