Domenica 25 gennaio alle ore 18.00, al Teatro La Nuova Fenice, il primo concerto del 2026 per l’Accademia d’Arte Lirica di Osimo propone “Opera e Canzone – Teatri e salotti tra ‘800 e ‘900”. Sono protagonisti i giovani solisti e il pianista Alessandro Benigni. I teatri e i salotti rappresentavano i luoghi centrali della vita sociale di ogni città: in entrambi luoghi si cantava musica lirica, operetta e canzone. Il concerto prevede arie, duetti e pezzi d’assieme di Bellini, Donizetti, Puccini, Leoncavallo, un tango di Piazzolla, brani da musical di Kern e Bernstein canzoni di Weill e Poulenc. Le giovani voci sono quelle di Antonella Granata e Sofiia Matviienko, soprani, Eleonora Filipponi, mezzosoprano, Hiroki Kono, tenore, e Yuhong Lin, basso.
Il maestro Zubin Mehta sarà di nuovo sul podio il 29 aprile2026, nel giorno del suo 90esimo compleanno, per dirigere la celebre Sinfonia n.9 in re minore op.125 di Ludwig van Beethoven con l’Orchestra e il Coro del Maggio.
Si inaugura all’insegna della
contaminazione e dei giovani talenti il 2026 della De Sono, con
il concerto Classical Swing, in programma giovedì 29
gennaio alle ore 20.30 presso il Conservatorio “Giuseppe
Verdi” di Torino. Protagonista un ensemble formato da cinque
borsisti ed ex borsisti De Sono: David Alecsandru
Irimescu (pianoforte), Federico Allegro (oboe), Matteo
Maggini (fagotto), Letizia Gullino (violino)
e Gabriele Mercandelli (clarinetto).
Il
programma propone un viaggio attraverso il Novecento musicale,
mettendo in dialogo la scrittura colta con linguaggi extra-accademici
come il jazz, il folklore e la musica popolare; ogni brano mostra
come compositori di diversa provenienza abbiano saputo rinnovare le
forme tradizionali aprendosi a nuovi ritmi, timbri e modelli
espressivi.

Maestro Zubin Mehta
reiterates his position regarding the cancellation of his engagements
in Israel
Florence, 19 January 2026 – Maestro Zubin Mehta, who
has returned to Florence from Mumbai to conduct the extraordinary
concert on 21 January at the Maggio Musicale Fiorentino, responded to
questions from Italian and international press regarding the
cancellation of all his engagements with the Israel Philharmonic
Orchestra by reiterating the position he had already expressed in a
video interview with “India Today” in Mumbai.
The Maestro
disagrees with the policy of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin
Netanyahu regarding the Palestinian issue and, in order to underline
his point of view, has decided to cancel his engagements with the
Orchestra — an ensemble he has led for 50 years — throughout
2026, while specifying that he will maintain the engagements already
scheduled for 2027.
“I do not agree with Prime Minister
Netanyahu’s policy,” the Maestro repeated in Florence, “and
this is the reason that led me to take the decision that includes the
cancellation of all my engagements for this season, including ten
performances of the opera Aida, in addition to the symphonic concerts
with the IPO, the orchestra I have conducted for 50 years, which has
given and taught me so much, and with which I have travelled all over
the world. I will return with them in May 2027. I will instead keep
my engagements with the West-Eastern Divan Orchestra, founded by my
friend Daniel Barenboim, with which I will be on tour in Spain on
February 14, 15, 16, 18, and 19, in Italy (Turin) on February 21, and
in Austria (Vienna) on February 22. The Divan Orchestra is composed
of Israeli and Palestinian musicians who sit side by side in harmony.
As I said in Mumbai, I hope the Israeli Prime Minister will not win
the next elections, although I have doubts about that, also because
he enjoys the support of President Trump. I confirm everything I said
in the interview in Mumbai, which is easily available online. I have
nothing more to add, and I am now focusing on the concert here in
“my” Florence on 21 January with the Maggio Orchestra.”
