A joint production of Teatri Uniti and Piccolo Teatro di Milano – Teatro d’Europa The Palace of Arts will be programming some important international theatre performances. The first of these is the Goldoni production of the Piccolo Teatro di Milano, Trilogia della villeggiatura (The Holiday Trilogy) that was premièred in 2007. Now sixty years old, the Piccolo Teatro is one of the most famous theatres in Europe and a founder member of the Union of the Theatres of Europe. For decades, it was led ...by the legendary Giorgio Strehler and is still guided by his spirit. (In 1954, Strehler directed a different version of The Holiday Trilogy.) As we will understand from the title, the piece is in fact three works but traditionally strongly edited and presented in a single evening. The three comedies are Le Smanie per la villeggiatura (“Pining for Holiday”), Le Avventure della villeggiatura (“Holiday Adventures”), Il Ritorno della villeggiatura (‘Back from Holiday”). It tells the story of two Venetian bourgeois families in Carlo Goldoni’s usual style: cleverly, amusingly and inventively. The director (who also plays one of the main characters) Toni Servillo said in an interview that for him Goldoni most resembles Mozart. And we can sense in his direction of Goldoni a Mozartean lightness and elegance. The precise and often bravura stagecraft, the sets which evoke the atmosphere of Venice and the seaside and a story which seems modern even today depicting everyday life both poetically and comically, will undoubtedly make these theatre evenings quite unforgettable.
