Mozart, the little wizard of music
Staged with the Haydn Orchestra and the Mozart Festival, the show aims to bring children closer to the life and music of the famous composer.
In almost forty years of activity, the more traditional expressive investigation represented by the children’s theater is flanked by musical theater proposals designed for the youngest where the thrill of a live performance blends with the immediacy of the theatrical narration.
Since the first years of activity, the Aida Foundation has experimented in this sense by setting up shows such as: Historie du Soldat, in 1989 with the Opera Arena di Verona, the trilogy for Baby BoFè realized in collaboration with the Bologna Festival Association, Cantico di Christmas, dramaturgy by Ugo Ronfani, The journey of Hans, with music by Cesare Picco, the homage to Mozart made with the Haydn Orchestra up to the most recent Giovanin without fear by Oficina OCM.
These are some of the proposals, and of the partners, with which the Aida Foundation has collaborated with the aim of bringing the young public closer to forms of expression that are normally not very similar, at least in appearance.
