- Location: Villa Piccoli
On July 25th, the enchanting setting of Villa Piccoli will host a significant cultural event as part of the Teatro alla Corte di Donna Verde summer festival. The monologue Rivalsalieri. La verità è nella musica, written and performed by Andrea Castelletti, offers a profound and necessary re-evaluation of Antonio Salieri, a Veronese composer too often unfairly relegated to the role of Mozart’s antagonist.
Produced by the Teatro degli Orti di Spagna company, the play aims to restore human and artistic dignity to a man who shaped the history of European music. Through a narrative that balances dramatic moments with ironic undertones, Castelletti dismantles the prejudices solidified by literature and cinema, which favored the myth of envy over historical reality. The audience will be taken on a journey through Viennese courts and Venetian influences, enriched by the performance of masterpieces such as L’Europa riconosciuta and the Sinfonia Veneziana in Re maggiore.
