Vinicio Capossela al Regio di Parma

Never managed to see De André live (unfortunately). Never managed to see Paolo Conte live (yet). But finally managed to see Vincio Capossela live, yesterday, in the beautiful setting of the Regio Theatre in Parma.


Companion of this evening: Xavier, a Belgian friend of us who moved to Parma, with his wife Agnes, about one year ago - and that you already met a few posts ago.


And the concert has been a full show: music, of course, rich and original. Instruments, many and often original. But also scenographies, costumes, settings, monologues, quips…


The first part of the concert, more measured and lyrical, focused on Capossela’s new album, ‘Marinai, Profeti e Balene’, and recreated the atmospheres of the sea and of the characters that plough it: seamen and whale-boats, jagged coastlines and Mediterranean islands, tempests and ‘bonaccie’, sirens, white whales, and abyss’ creatures - all in a journey towards the unknown*…


The second part, more ‘tarantellata’, brought in his greatest hits, from ‘Con un Rosa’ to ‘Che cossè l’Amor’ to ‘Il Ballo di San Vito’ - heating up the public of Parma…


And now waiting for Paolo Conte to pass by Rome (sooner or later…)

  1. Ma come, arrivi fino a Parma per un concerto e non ti spingi in su di un'altra trentina di km per vedere del buon rugby a Viadana? Daidai che venerdì sera ci sono gli Aironi contro gli Ospreys, ti aspetto lì!

    Che poi il risultato è già scritto nei nomi delle squadre...come può un airone sconfiggere un falco?

    Mi firmo? Non mi firmo?

  3. Non posso darti la risposta valida, Casatenovo Brianza non esiste...peccato, ma il notaio è inflessibile...
