Verona, September 22 – On September 20 and 21, the Arena of Verona, the largest opera house in the world hosted within its ancient walls the genesis of a new format, which combined the worlds of ice-skating and bel canto to the spectacle of pop.
We have followed all phases of the project with curiosity and admiration, starting from Marco Balich’s and Giulia Mancini’s vision, to the choice of the souls that have created Intimissimi on ice OPERAPOP: the world ice-skating champions, the costumes, the set design, the musical project and the singers.
This weekend we had the honour to see how the colour palette of the director Francisco Negrin has been combined together to create a work of art, receiving a standing ovation from the Arena.
Intimissimi on ice OPERAPOP, a show of Italian and international talents who have revealed a parallel universe. A world where men glide like spirits on icy surfaces, in which their bodies transpire grace and elegance and where the speed of the pirouettes seems to turn them into ethereal beings.
This journey into the world of art, music and sport, has terminated with a touching hug that the skaters exchanged at the end of the greetings on stage. A sincere hug of sacrifice and passion, willing to welcome all those who on September 27 on Canale 5 will want to enjoy this all-Italian artwork.
