Melodic transformations, rhythmic fusions, and genre‐crossing adventures await. The ORT Carnival Reloaded traverses the vibrant realms of Argentine tango, Italian opera, Brazilian influences, and a celebratory ambiance. Leading this musical journey is Roberto Molinelli, a highly adaptable composer, conductor, and arranger renowned within the Italian scene for blending classical repertoire with jazz, pop, and traditional music.
Carnival Reloaded conveys much with its title: a season flipped on its head, summer hidden within winter, an opera masquerading as a milonga. The program creatively combines music by Vivaldi and Piazzolla, Verdi and Vinicius de Moraes, Bernstein’s Mambo, along with a samba‐infused Paganini, plus original Molinelli pieces, all curated to entertain and astonish.
it’s a theatrical performance in musical form: vibrant, imaginative, crafted with the whimsy of disguise and the finesse of musical artistry.
