On September 25th a new appointment with “aTUTTOCUOREplus ultra” at the Verona Arena joins the dates of September 19th, 20th, 21st, 22nd and 26th, 27th and 28th, after the extraordinary success of the forty-one events that captured the hearts of over 500 thousand people and marked the farewell of Claudio Baglioni from the large outdoor and indoor arenas. The “aTUTTOCUOREplus ultra” event is enriched, given the exceptional response from the public, with a new date in the Scaliger amphitheatre. These unmissable events represent Claudio Baglioni’s farewell from the Arena of Verona and celebrate the anniversary of their meeting. A union, born fifty years ago, which is rooted in the history of a city (symbol of romantic love of all times) and which welcomes the exceptional outdoor event of the artist who, with his performances, has enchanted many Veronese nights.
Tickets for the new event date at the Verona Arena on 25 September will be available from Monday 24 June exclusively in advance for Fan Club members from 10.00 am. Also on Monday, from 1pm, they will be available on TicketOne.it and in the usual points of sale and pre-sales (for info www.friendsandpartners.it). For this extraordinary “plus ultra” (second chapter of the 1,000 days of the “lap of honour” which will accompany Baglioni’s farewell to the live scene) “aTUTTOCUORE” will live in a special edition even more astonishing, fabulous, even beyond: an further undertaking to approach the maximum limit of art and perfection and the extreme limit of the very concept of “Work”.
The tour, after the outdoor debut at the Foro Italico Stadium in Rome, touched the Verona Arena, the Paolo Borsellino Velodrome in Palermo, the Arena della Vittoria in Bari. The indoor route (started at the Vitrifrigo Arena in Pesaro) was continued with 5 dates at the Forum in Milan, 3 dates at the InAlpi Arena in Turin, 2 dates at the Arena Spettacoli Fiera in Padua, 2 dates at the Unipol Arena in Bologna, 3 dates at the Nelson Mandela Forum in Florence, 3 dates at the Pala Sele di Eboli, 1 date at the Modigliani Forum in Livorno to end with 6 consecutive lives at the Palazzo dello Sport in Rome. In “aTUTTOCUOREplus ultra” energy and passion come together to create the perfect harmony between music, singing, dance, space, sound, performance, costumes, stage movements, plays of light and three-dimensional images.
The “heart”, the first instrument of every human being, an essential percussion for the very life of each of us, is at the center of this representation, with the artistic direction and theatrical direction by Giuliano Peparini. By rereading and fusing together Richard Wagner’s intuition of the total theater with that developed by Walter Gropius of the theater created by remodulating existing spaces and architectures, “aTUTTOCUOREplus ultra” gives life to a show set in a timeless future, with quotes that they start from the dawn of time and move up to futuristic eras. The vital, pulsating and unstoppable heart of the protagonists of these dizzying ascents and descents along the imaginary scale of time, beats to give a heart back to this present that seems to have lost it, and to remember that the only real time and that it is truly worth to live is what has the speed, cadence and rhythm of our heartbeat: the metronome with which to beat time in time to the music, the only clock with the exact time, the only one to listen to.
Everything, on stage and around the stage, is a search for beauty. Beauty that sows beauty. The music, first of all, thanks to a breathtaking setlist that brings together 38 extraordinary timeless hits from a repertoire that has no equal by the artist who has indelibly marked the history of our country’s music, full of “manifesto songs” that have become part of the Italian language and culture and which continue to give fascination, emotions and new energy to three generations. But “beauty” is also the choreography, the 550 original costumes, designed and created specifically for these lives, the stage movements, the statuesque physicality of the dancers, the energy and vitality of the performers, the projections and the spaces and cuts of light created by the 450 lighting fixtures programmed by the light designer Ivan Pierri.
On the immense 3D scenic space, in which all dimensions (horizontality, verticality, depth) are explored and enhanced, the narrative merges the languages of cinema and theatre. Stories in images, developed for the first time in a live show by Baglioni on large screens and atmospheres, costumes and tribal tattoos that recall films such as “Mad Max” or “Code Genesis” mix, in fact, with the role and interventions of a choir which is inspired by Greek tragedy and impressive scenic movements that recall the theatrical staging of opera performances. In fact, there were as many as a hundred artists on stage: 21 multi-instrumentalists and 80 performers.
Although with dimensions and numbers of large indoor and outdoor arenas, “aTUTTOCUORE”, which ideally closes the trilogy opened by “Al Centro” and continued with “12noteTutti su!”, maintains the closeness, intimacy and pathos of those theatrical shows in which everything, down to the smallest detail (movements, gestures, looks, expressions and even the sweat of performing) is visible to the naked eye, to allow artists and audiences to meet and experience heart-to-heart a show created, interpreted and offered to all heart, all strength, all joy, all energy.
