The film-concert is part of the initiatives dedicated to Federico Fellini to celebrate the 40 years of his film 'Il Casanova' on the 23rd anniversary of his death.
'Zoroastro - I Casanova' is based on the lyric tragedy by Louis de Cahusac and on the music by Jean-Philippe Rameau in the Italian translation of the texts by Giacomo Casanova.
The film was shot in 2015 in the beautiful rooms of the Galli Theatre in Rimini, and it is the first performance in modern time of pages taken from this work. The readings are entrusted to the Italian actress Galatea Ranzi, accompained by musics performed by the Theresia Youth Baroque Orchestra, conducted by Claudio Astronio.
The film will be introduced by Roberto Calabretto from the University of Udine.
