Mortella between music and summer smells

Walking among the flowers and smells of the tropical garden La Mortella, allows you to imagine in the eyes pictures of poetic beauty that binds the feeling of being out of the world. After its complete opening, which has attracted audiences from all over the world since the first weekend of April, was also inaugurated the concert season of chamber music that has always hosted young talent from heterogeneous nationalities and winners of some among the most prestigious international competitions. With the arrival of the summer, attention moves instead to the outdoor stage. From June 22, the Greek Theater with its Youth Orchestra tour will offer the possibility of immersing itself totally in music and nature.

The summer music billboard, which came to the eleventh edition, takes place in the evening in the magnificent setting of the theater that has the natural beauty of the wonderful bay of Forio. Six concerts this year will alternate until July 27 under the artistic direction of Caroline Howard accompanied by a colorful chromatic play of lights that will make the experience of a nocturnal visit to Mortella even more exciting. The program is varied and stimulating, and offers something for everyone: it starts with a modern dance show, and touches on playing the music of the great symphonic repertoire (Beethoven, Vivaldi), music from film, jazz, opera and the inevitable tribute to William Walton, the tutelary number of the Foundation that takes its name. From June 22 to July 27, every Thursday at 21, Giardini La Mortella.
