Music, theater, dance. "It is the total work, as longed for by Richard Wagner in the 19th century. To get out of a predetermined scene and invent something new, even after more than 50 years of career. An exceptional show for exceptional times". Claudio Baglioni, just turned 70 (and widely celebrated "a sort of holy year, I fear, which will last until December", he jokes), has moved the bar of a career full of successes even further and has tried his hand at with a unique project: from 2 June at 9 pm (the day when he will also be appointed Grand Official of the Republic) it will be streaming on the ITsART platform (the digital stage for all forms of art, live and on-demand, starting from 31 May, which will also host other projects) - and recorded at the Teatro dell 'Opera di Roma - In This Story which is mine.

The show - lasting 90 minutes - opens with a monologue written by Claudio Baglioni and interpreted by Pierfrancesco Favino and with a danced prelude entrusted to the étoile Eleonora Abbagnato.
The story is also marked by the solo contributions, among others, by Danilo Rea and Giovanni Baglioni (son of the singer-songwriter), who performs the final suite of the album.
In addition to love, the protagonist is "time, stronger than love itself. The doctor who heals every wound. He cannot be beaten, but we musicians are lucky enough to be able to play with it".
Baglioni, time is a big rip off
It is not the first time that Baglioni - which due to the pandemic has postponed the live dates of "Dodici Note" in Caracalla, Taormina and Verona - mixes music and different arts to next year. "This Piccolo Grande Amore was presented in the form of a musical film - he says, at the Cinema Adriano in Rome, in one of the first presentations again in attendance -. E tu was also at the beginning a musical comedy. I've been thinking about the idea of a musical for about fifty years. He doesn't abandon it because you always have to have something to think about, something to do when you grow up ". That something to do is also the TV, with which in recent years he has made peace - first Anima Mia then the Sanremo festival -, unlike the first years of his career in which he avoided it. "I want to go back,because I'm fond of it, I got a taste for it. And since I don't have my whole life ahead of me, it's good that I hurry ", Baglioni hopes.
One of his presence this season had already been announced first by Rai1 and then by Mediaset, without however having materialized. "With Rai1 there has been an idea for months that has also involved Piefrancesco Favino, while with Mediaset there have been contacts for a show about my 70 years. All pending".
Meanwhile, the singer-songwriter moves forward and nominates himself, between the serious and the facetious, to organize the Eurovision Song Contest - which returns to Italy by virtue of the Maneskin victory: "I would like to be able to organize it with Giuliano Peparini. We have experience and we have it. already combined several, even on the stage of the Ariston. We propose, at most they will answer us no ".
In this story which is mine it will be available on ITsART for six months, then it could go on living in other forms. "We are thinking about it - says Fernando Salzano of Friends & Partner who produces the work with Fenix Entertainment - because it is a project that cannot end like this. on TV".
