Live stream of the 'Annuale della morte di Dante' with Teatro delle Albe
Every year, on the second Sunday of September, the City of Ravenna, custodian of the remains of Dante, celebrates the anniversary of the poet’s death (Annuale della morte di Dante) with the ceremony of the gifting of oil by the City of Firenze for the votive lamp of Dante’s tomb.
As occurred on September 5 on the occasion of the opening of events commemorating the 700th anniversary of Dante Alighieri's passing, it is possible to view live streaming the 699th ceremony on www.ravennafestival.live , in the section www.ravennafestival.live/live-stream (Sunday, September 13, 10:30 a.m.).
Within the programme of events, particularly noteworthy is the one in Piazza San Francesco: Azione corale, the dramatic choral project by Marco Martinelli and Ermanna Montanari acted by actress Chiara Lagani, artists, musicians, singers, choruses, and above all, the citizens of Cantiere Dante (Dante Worksite, open to all citiziens who want to take part).
The Azione corale preludes to the conclusion of the tryptic La Divina Commedia 2017-2021 Chiamata pubblica per il poema di Dante Alighieri, the majestic performing work that, under the guidance of Marco and Ermanna, plunged the city and its inhabitants into Dante’s world.
Produced by Ravenna Festival in collaboration with Teatro delle Albe/Ravenna Teatro and Municipality of Ravenna, the tryptic from Dante’s Divine Comedy will be completed in 2021 with Paradiso: within the 32th edition of the Festival, the three canticle will be performed in Ravenna in a single day, from afternoon till night, in three different places, starting in a parade-procession from Dante’s tomb.
After the Azione corale, the live streaming goes on with the ceremony of the gifting of oil by the City of Firenze.
To follow, from the Alighieri Theatre, the prolusion by Prof. Carlo Ossola, President of the National Dante Committee.
The streaming of the 699th Annuale della morte di Dante is enriched by an audio commentary by Guido Barbieri.
