In just a few bars, the score captures the essence of lightness with elegance, theatrical rhythm and subtle irony. It is a true symphonic miniature that anticipates, without revealing, the bustling situations of the opera.<br\/>This is followed by Ludwig van Beethoven&#8217;s <em>Coriolan<\/em> Overture, Op. 62 (1807), a dramatic piece inspired by Collin&#8217;s tragedy of the same name. Here, Beethoven contrasts the impetuous strength of the hero with the sweetness of his mother&#8217;s pleas, using a few contrasting motifs to depict an intense psychological conflict. The dramatic tension of the music introduces a new expressive dimension to the overture, which from an introduction becomes a narrative.<br\/>Rossini&#8217;s symphonies take us to the heart of Italian opera buffa: <em>La scala di seta, La Cenerentola, L&#8217;italiana in Algeri<\/em> and <em>Il barbiere di Siviglia.<\/em> Each overture is a little gem of vivacity and rhythmic and melodic invention, surprising in its brilliance and theatricality. Rossini, a master of effect and formal construction, condenses unstoppable energy into these pieces, with famous crescendos and twists that delight the ear and the imagination.<br\/>The Prelude to Act III of Giuseppe Verdi&#8217;s <em>La Traviata,<\/em> on the other hand, takes the listener into a more intimate and suspended realm. It is music that recounts Violetta&#8217;s inner drama, between abandonment and yearning. The phrases of the orchestra become breath, anticipation, foreboding: in a few minutes, Verdi condenses a tragic force of great emotional power.<br\/>From verismo opera comes the Intermezzo from <em>Cavalleria rusticana<\/em> by Pietro Mascagni, an authentic emblem of an era; a lyrical, simple and intensely moving piece that flows like a secular prayer at the heart of the story. The orchestra becomes a collective, meditative voice, in a narrative silence that speaks louder than words.        <\/p>\n\n<div style=\"height:100px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Simone Ori on the podium conducting the Carlo Felice Opera Orchestra.
