A title that conceals the charm and unpredictability of this event, where three distinct personalities share the same space of dialogue and listening: Gemma Bertagnolli, with a Mozart discography acclaimed by international critics, is among the most refined Italian sopranos of her generation. Alessandro Stella, a pianist of uncommon sensitivity, is her ideal counterpart: capable of accompanying without disappearing and of engaging in dialogue without overpowering. Alberto Mattioli, one of the most brilliant and irreverent music critics on the Italian scene, adds a narrative perspective able to combine intelligence and lightness without compromise.

Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, in this context, is both pretext and protagonist. His music — profoundly deep yet luminous — requires no solemn introduction: it is enough to hear it in a garden at night, where enchantment and ease meet naturally.
