Dive into a musical voyage through Venice’s enchanting melodies at the Palazzetto Bru Zane on April 9, 2024, with the thought-provoking conference, “The Gondola of Dreams” as part of the enthralling “Fauré’s Thread” cycle.
Directed by the erudite Luca Scarlini, this immersive conference delves deep into the essence of Fauré’s Cinq Mélodies de Venise op., a collection comprising masterpieces like Mandoline, En sourdine, Green, À Clymène, and C’est l’extase. Crafted on the evocative poetry of Paul Verlaine and published in 1891, these compositions hold a special place in Fauré’s catalog. Intimate and soulful, these melodies were advised by Fauré himself to be savored in the solitude of personal contemplation, offering glimpses into the composer’s unique emotional world.
The concert series stems from Fauré’s sojourn at the opulent palace of the Princess of Polignac, where artistic souls converged in an environment teeming with creativity. The Princess and her husband hosted a season brimming with Venetian compositions by esteemed French composers, including the exquisite Venice cycle of 1901 by Reynaldo Hahn.
Following the conference, indulge in a delightful tasting of wines and products from the “Laguna in the Glass,” enriching your sensory experience and allowing you to savor the essence of Venice beyond the realm of music.
Join us for an evening that intertwines music, history, and the essence of Venice, offering a glimpse into the profound connection between art, emotion, and the Venetian soul. Let the melodies transport you through the tranquil canals and evoke the ethereal beauty of this enchanting city.
