FANES POEM MUSICAL – THE MUSICAL POEM OF THE DOLOMITES
Fanes Poem Musical is an experimental opera for soprano, orchestra and choir with original llyrics by Roland Verra and original music by Susy Rottonara.
The Musical Poem Fanes was composed in 2009, in the year of the declaration of the Dolomites World Natural Heritage by the UNESCO and in the same year it was staged for the first time with educational purpose in the natural setting of the Dolomites.
The music of the Musical Poem Fanes tells the legend of Fanes with an emphasized dramatic approach underlined by archaic melodies in an experimental style, where past and present, dream and reality are bound to the magic atmospheres of the legend.
Some of the music developed in the Musical Poem Fanes has been composed as music score of the ladin film Le Rëgn de Fanes (The Reign of Fanes) and was recorded for the first time in 2009 with an arrangement sung and played by the author herself in the album Dreaming of Fanes, the first album sung in Ladin that has ever participated at the Grammys and that was included in the entry list of the category “Best Album of the Year” at the 53. Grammy Awards (2009).
