Tribute: The Eternity of Morricone in the Ancient Theaters of Sicily

Tribute to Maestro Ennio Morricone at the Greek Theatre of Tindari and the Ancient Theatre of Taormina with Alberto Urso

The Lyrical Festival of the Stone Theatres, now in its sixth edition, pays tribute to Ennio Morricone with an unmissable event. On August 2 at the Greek Theatre of Tindari and on September 22 at the Ancient Theatre of Taormina, the audience will be able to immerse themselves in the emotions of the great composer’s famous soundtracks. For the first time, the tribute will also take place in the heart of Sicilian Baroque, on the steps of the Noto Cathedral, on August 21.

Pop-lyric tenor Alberto Urso, with his extraordinary voice, will enrich the event. Born in Messina in 1997, Urso is much loved by the public for his unique vocal versatility and stage presence.

Rich Program with the Sicilian Lyrical Choir and the Calabria Philharmonic Orchestra

The tribute program is incredibly rich and includes Morricone’s most famous soundtracks, such as “Nuovo Cinema Paradiso,” “Malèna,” “The Legend of 1900,” “A Fistful of Dollars,” “The Mission,” “Once Upon a Time in the West,” “Duck, You Sucker!” and “Once Upon a Time in America.” The evening will be further enriched by the new suite “Ennio’s Songs” composed by Corrado Neri, which includes pieces like “Il mondo” and “Se telefonando.”

The Lyrical Festival of the Stone Theatres offers a high-level program that attracts an ever-growing audience and critical acclaim. With over forty evenings of performances in the main archaeological parks and ancient theatres of Sicily, the festival promises unique emotions in places of incomparable beauty.
