After Tango di luna a second co-production is presented by the Filarmonica Laudamo and the Teatro di Messina. The star of this performance is the Vittorio Emanuele Theatre Orchestra, performing pages of the great symphonic repertoire never previously played live in Messina, such as Mendelssohn's Scottish Symphony and the music composed by Grieg for Ibsen's Peer Gynt . A programme filled with a romantic atmosphere, filled with the fairytale presence of trolls , bards and Nordic ballades sung by the youthful voice of soprano Gabriella Costa. The concert opens with the Ouverture from Russlan and Ludmilla by Glinka and sets the first moment of this musical journey in an even more distant land, in the Russia bordering with the Orient. The Vittorio Emanuele Orchestra is conducted by Karl Martin, previously with the Palermo Massimo Orchestra and the Bolzano Haydn Orchestra, and now a guest conductor at institutions such as La Scala, the S. Cecilia Academy, the RAI National Orchestra, the Buenos Aires State Symphony Orchestra and the NHK in Tokyo.
