RELEASED - Opera - Live - DVD
A spectacular production of Rigoletto produced by the Arturo Toscanini Foundation, David Guido Pietroni and Maurizio De Santis.
The production featured a star-studded cast and costumes designed by punk fashion icon Vivienne Westwood.
Rigoletto debuted at the Verdi Theater in Busseto and concluded after numerous performances in the magnificent Piazza del Campo in Siena, in front of 32,000 people.
In 2005 we produced a DVD of the Siena performance titled Rigoletto Story, which featured an opera libretto entirely illustrated in comics. Distributed worldwide by Columbia TriStar and Sony Pictures (the first time for an opera DVD), the film still holds an undisputed record: in just three months, it sold over 150,000 copies, an absolute record in the field of opera.

DEVELOPMENT - Opera - Film
This is the story of the Babylonian king Nabucco (Nebuchadnezzar II), who conquers the Israelites and declares himself to be a god. His daughter Fenena falls in love with the Israelite Ismaele, while the high priest of the Israelites, Zaccaria, tries to protect his people. Nabucco's other daughter, Abigaille, is consumed by jealousy and plots to take the throne from her father, leading to a series of tragic events. In the end, Nabucco has a change of heart and renounces his claim to divinity, while Abigaille dies in agony.
Giuseppe Verdi composed Nabucco when he was just 27 years old, and it is widely considered to be one of his greatest masterpieces. Imagine now this epic story brought to life on the big screen through stunning animations and powerful music, capturing the raw emotions and conflicts of this ancient tale.
Let Music for Changes take you on a journey through the power of Verdi's music and the magic of animation, as we bring this timeless story to new life.
PRE PRODUCTION - Opera - Animation - Film
Music for Changes suggests an adaptation of Giuseppe Verdi's masterpiece Il Trovatore towards the Fantasy genre to combine traditional opera with a contemporary and accessible language. The Fantasy genre features magic, brave knights, damsels in distress, and mythological creatures in a medieval-like setting, which can also be found in Il Trovatore. The struggle between good and evil, a central theme in the Fantasy genre, is also evident in the duels between Manrico and the Count of Luna. The protagonist in Fantasy is typically a seemingly ordinary person who discovers a special abilities or legendary lineage and becomes the only one capable of saving their people. This is also the case with Manrico in Il Trovatore, who starts as a street urchin and becomes a hero fighting supernatural forces to save his beloved Leonora. As a result, Il Trovatore can be regarded as the first Fantasy Opera animation film in the history.

PRODUCTION - Musical
The Chronicler Of Broadway is a musical-opera, set in New York, in the bleak years between the first and second World Wars. It was the era of Prohibition, racial discrimination, and illegal immigration.
The Big Apple attracted desperate people from all over the world. They arrived on ships from the Old Continent, with cardboard suitcases full of rags and hair full of lice. They were all searching for fortune, all hungry for money and a future. Hundreds of different ethnicities met and clashed on the streets, but only two groups managed to emerge: Italians and Jews who fought for New York with illegal activities.
But in 1920s New York, not only Italians lived there. From the intellectual underworld of Yiddish Jews, klezmer music rose, a popular music contaminated by the eternal wandering of this people. In the clubs, jazz was played, and people danced with swing. The musical reflects this noisy melting pot of peoples and passions that agitated the city. [See more...]
