Franco Battiato has crossed the world of pop music enriching it beyond measure, intercepting many listeners as well as many artists from different paths, but always close to his sensitivity. They will once again reaffirm its value on an important stage such as the Verona Arena, on 21 September, starting from his most radiantly pop album, La voce del padrone released forty years ago on that very date.
Franco Battiato's artistic strength has always been its vastness and trasversality. Not only that of the genres he has crossed, from experimental music to avant-garde pop, from melodrama to electronics, from references to other cultures with a curiosity without preconceptions, but above all that of open, adventurous compositions.
Invito al viaggio will unite figures from the world of entertainment with an orchestra formed by the Filarmonica dell'Opera Italiana Bruno Bartoletti, Carlo Guaitoli to conducting and piano, Angelo Privitera to keyboards and programming, Osvaldo Di Dio, Antonello D'Urso and Chicco Gussoni on guitars, Andrea Torresani on bass, Giordano Colombo on drums.
Invito al viaggio will be an embrace, not a celebration, supported by the expressive power of a vast and amazing art. A journey that is not over, because the songs never stop, especially those of Franco Battiato.
Much of the repertoire will be performed following the original arrangements, on timbres and nuances that want to reflect the entire musical path of Battiato. An intention that will be reflected in the detail of each moment, as if it were a concert by the Maestro. Not only songs, therefore, but also suites and purely orchestral moments, in a sort of moving testimony.
