Love in the Moonlight

In the heart of our festival programme, we are delighted to present an event of rare beauty: “Amore al Chiaro di Luna”, a concert that invites us to rediscover the fascination of mythology through the music of Alessandro Scarlatti, whose 300th death anniversary falls in 2025.
The centrepiece of the programme is the serenata “Diana and Endymion” one of the hidden gems of the Baroque repertoire. This masterpiece, inspired by the classical myth of the love between the moon goddess and the young shepherd, winds its way through suspended emotions and poignant melodies that evoke the mystery and poetry of the night. Scarlatti, an unsurpassed master of expressiveness and theatricality, guides us through the torment and ecstasy of a divine love, delivering a work imbued with grace and depth.
The performance will feature outstanding performers, accompanied by original instruments that will restore all the purity of Italian Baroque sound. The intimacy of the voices and the warmth of the strings will frame a tale where musical art meets the magic of myth.
“Scarlatti: Amore al Chiaro di Luna” is not just a concert: it is an invitation to be enveloped in beauty, to reflect on the power of love and the eternal dialogue between humanity and the divine. A concert that promises to enchant the audience and imprint in the festival memory a moment of unforgettable poetry.
