Suono Italiano is a project in collaboration between the Italian Cultural Institute in Stockholm and CIDIM – Italian National Music Committee, with the contribution of the Ministry for Cultural Heritage and Activities.
The fourth edition of the Suono Italiano’s series of chamber music concerts opens with the duo Monica Bacelli (mezzosoprano) – Antonio Ballista (piano) who perform ”Malìa”, an itinerary in the musical Europe by Francesco Paolo Tosti. In this concert, for the first time, Francesco Paolo Tosti appears in an unusual guise with respect to the one traditionally attributed to him. Alongside the little-known English and French lyrics, well-known and unnamed Italian melodies are performed as well.

Monica Bacelli studied with Maria Vittoria Romano and Donato Martorella and graduate at the Music Conservatory in Pescara: she won the Belli Competition and she debuted in Spoleto as Cherubino in Le Nozze di Figaro and Dorabella in Così fan tutte. She performed on the world’s most prestitgious stages collaborating with conductors such as Claudio Abbado, Semyon Bychkov, Riccardo Chailly, Gustavo Dudamel, Daniel Harding, Daniele Gatti, Zubin Mehta, Riccardo Muti, Seiji Ozawa, Antonio Pappano and Sir Simon Rattle. Winner of the prestigious Premio Abbiati, her vast repertory includes Mozart (Idamante, Cherubino, Elvira, Dorabella and Sesto), Rossini, baroque authors including Monteverdi, Cavalli and Handel, as well as French operas (Les Contes d’Hoffmann, Werther, Don Quichotte and L’Enfant et les sortilèges.)
Antonio Ballista is a musician with a strong intolerance to all kinds of conventions and routines. His curiosity has no limits, so that he likes to perform a big variety of musical expressions, without making aesthetical discriminations among the different styles of the music he plays, as he considers music as a whole. According to this philosophy, Antonio has realized his artistic way playing side by side both intellectual and consumer music. His musical programs include very unlike styles as: Classical music, Ragtime, Italian and American songs, Rock, Film sound tracks. His original and personal interpretations – sometimes realized also with theatrical appearances – establish important elements to enlarge the concert’s normal features.
