Ramin Karimloo - straordinario protagonista in “The Phantom of the Opera” - sarà nuovamente e presto sul palcoscenico del Teatro Stabile del Friuli Venezia Giulia.

La data da segnare in rosso sui calendari è quella di mercoledì 25 ottobre, quando il Politeama Rossetti ospiterà “From The Rehearsal Room: Trieste LIVE!”

Per il raffinato e trascinante concerto, Ramin Karimloo avrà al suo fianco Hadley Fraser, un amico oltre che una sfavillante star del West End, quotatissimo come attore oltre che come musicista e cantante.

“From The Rehearsal Room: Trieste LIVE!” è un evento di elevato livello ed un regalo notevole che i due fanno alla città di Trieste. Si tratta infatti del terzo appuntamento di una serie: i primi due concerti si sono tenuti rispettivamente a Tokio - durante il lockdown - e poi a Soho (dove i due artisti si erano conosciuti e hanno lavorato assieme) ogni volta però in modalità streaming.

Per la prima volta il concerto a Trieste sarà live, con il pubblico in sala che potrà farsi incantare e travolgere dall’energia e dal talento di Karimloo e Fraser e conquistare dalla speciale scaletta musicale che connota e rende unico il loro concerto.

“From The Rehearsal Room: Trieste LIVE!” infatti rappresenta quasi un viaggio nel tempo attraverso la musica: i due artisti vi celebrano 100 anni di teatro musicale percorrendo il Novecento attraverso 10 brani, uno per ogni decennio, e sfoderano anche eccellenti doti da showmen nell’introdurli, commentarli e intrattenere gli spettatori.

Un appuntamento di caratura internazionale che prosegue il percorso in cui “Phantom” è stato una pietra miliare e che si sviluppa ora in nuovi, felici rapporti con i suoi grandi artisti.
