Era il 1990 ed il Politeama Rossetti per la prima volta si lasciava invadere dalle figure fantasiose del mondo del musical. E che musical! Il Teatro Stabile regionale partì subito dal titolo più irriverente e travolgente: The Rocky Horror Show… Il pubblico sarebbe stato al gioco? Si sarebbe potuto contare sulla cultura e tradizione musicale e sulla mente aperta degli spettatori del Friuli Venezia Giulia? La scommessa non era scontata… I risultati però sono stati positivi da subito. E dieci anni dopo si rilanciò: questa volta era un “cartellone” dedicato al musical ad essere varato. Nuovamente la risposta del pubblico fu incoraggiante come pure l’entusiasmo con cui lo staff del Teatro iniziò ad affrontare i problemi tecnici e organizzativi connessi all’ospitalità di spettacoli appartenenti a un genere ancora “inusuale” per i palcoscenici istituzionali… E oggi? I traguardi raggiunti sono sotto gli occhi di tutti: se l’identità forte dello Stabile rimane legata al campo della produzione e della prosa, in questi anni nell’ambito del Musical sono state conquistate importanti posizioni. Sono stati dati titoli di qualità crescente e alle produzioni italiane s’intreccia con sempre maggior decisione un repertorio di “edizioni originali” inglesi e americane di altissimo livello. Di conseguenza Trieste si sta confermando una delle piazze italiane più ambite dalle compagnie internazionali, capace di accogliere spettacoli che abitualmente circuitano nelle grandi capitali europee: basti pensare a Cats, Mamma Mia!, Chicago, West Side Story, Evita…
L’apertura del cartellone 2010-2011 è l’occasione per festeggiare questi traguardi con uno show internazionale (prima di Trieste sarà in scena a Vienna e Monaco di Baviera) che raccoglie i brani e le coreografie più celebri dei musical di Broadway: ecco dunque Musical Rocks! Una vera festa che alternerà scatenati numeri d’assieme a duetti romantici e indimenticabili: da Moulin Rouge a Hair, da Beauty and the Beast a High School Musical, da Jesus Christ Superstar a The Phantom of the Opera, passando per Evita, Re Leone, Elisabeth, Tanz der Vampire, Mamma Mia!... Un’occasione da non perdere per rivivere i successi che hanno accompagnato le stagioni recenti del Rossetti, e per scoprire nuovi musical che magari arriveranno in futuro sul palcoscenico di Trieste.
Interessante il cast, con un corpo di ballo di otto elementi che fa da contorno a sei cantanti-interpreti selezionati fra i protagonisti delle più prestigiose produzioni di musical europee. A iniziare la serata naturalmente saranno le note del Time Warp dal Rocky Horror Show!
