The Herculaneum Archaeological Park hosts a special dawn show. “Inventions for three voices” is the event scheduled for Saturday 29th, with repeat performances on 20th July and 31st August: it is an original CoopCulture production, which will animate some of the historical, artistic and archaeological wonders of Italy.
Herculaneum will be the first park to become the setting for a journey between archeology and sound, which will combine monuments, nature and territory, presenting the place in a completely new way at the first light of the morning.
Music will become the underlying theme of an evocative experience, expressed in a narrative that crosses eras and cultures, telling stories of grandeur and drama and blending with the grandiose archaeological landscape.
The musical programme includes a vast repertoire, from the music of Roberto De Simone, Benjamin Britten, Mozart, Gabriel Fauré, Jansug Kakhidze and pieces from the popular tradition of Campania, Sardinia and Portugal, performed by the voice of Marina Bruno, Enzo Pietropaoli on the double bass and Daniele Sepe on the saxophone.
“We are the only archaeological site – says the director Francesco Sirano – to offer this possibility in Campania and among the very few in all of Italy. We love Herculaneum and this place is loved at all hours. Imagine the emotion of witnessing the sun rise in one of the most evocative and history-rich places in the Mediterranean, accompanied by the music and scents of the early morning”
