Little Bear and the Ice Mountain

Little Bear and the Ice Mountain
Giovanni Sollima

As part of the Fenice Education project – dedicated, in particular, to the public of schools, the younger generation and families – comes back at the Malibran Theatre of Piccolo Orso e la montagna di ghiaccio [The little Bear and the ice Mountain], the new ecologically-minded work, created by the composer Giovanni Sollima – known to the public for his ‘green’ commitment, as well as for his curiosity, which pushes him to explore new expressive frontiers contaminating different genres – together with Giancarlo De Cataldo, the former magistrate turned author who penned the libretto. This artistic partnership is returning to Teatro La Fenice after its success with Acquaprofonda – another opera focussing on environmental protection –, and winner of the Premio Filippo Siebaneck. Based on solid scientific documentation, the authors’ aim is to raise awareness among young people about the inescapable problem of glacier melting; the libretto and the staging have been developed in accordance, envisaging the use of certified, recycled or reusable materials
