It will be a day full of events. In the afternoon, in the National Gallery, Concerto Italiano ensemble will be the protagonist with the performance of the Third Book of Madrigals for five voices by Claudio Monteverdi, who in 1592 mixed his musical language with the verses of Torquato Tasso. In the evening, the North Wing of the National Gallery will be transformed into a theatre to host the performance that Teatro Due Foundation & Europa Galante orchestra will dedicate to Ariadne at Naxos, the refined composition by Jiří Antonín Benda recounting the story of Ariadne and Theseus as they flee from Crete after the killing of the Minotaur.
