Thanks to the small company of traveling actors, whose story has been staged several times by Franco Zeffirelli, the children will be put in touch with the magic of opera and the mysteries of theatrical staging.
The activity for middle schools develops in two different moments.
The first takes place through the rooms of the Museum, where the pupils will be taken on an interactive guided tour, with particular attention given to the room dedicated to the different productions of Ruggero Leoncavallo’s opera created by Franco Zeffirelli.
Here the story of Canio / Pagliaccio and Nedda / Colombina will be told, through the explanation of different set designs, the colorful sketches for the costumes and a three-dimensional model of the stage.
Subsequently, in a classroom located on the ground floor, children will be offered some excerpts from the opera and will be invited to produce their own vision through their drawings, reflecting on the characters and the locations where the action takes place. Some of the works will then be exhibited in the Museum’s premises.
The visit without the workshop, which lasts about 45 minutes, costs 5 euros per student. The visit + the workshop, lasting about 2 hours, costs 7 euros per student. Teachers are entitled to free admission.
