Autumn edition of the evening concerts at the Pausilypon archaeological park. For the first time, the Pausilypon Acoustic Orchestra will perform as a tribute to Cuban culture
After the extraordinary success ofMay and June edition 2013, the evocative concert review that takes place in the setting of the Roman theaters of Pausilypon returns. "Suggestions at dusk" is, in fact, the title of the event and by itself suggests the fascinating experience that can be lived during the evenings.
If the summer edition received a enorme succeso, both critics and audiences, obtaining more than three thousand admissions in 8 evenings, the autumn one promises to replicate the excellent results. "Pausilypon: suggestions at dusk”Is made possible by the Gaiola Onlus Interdisciplinary Study Center, in agreement with the Special Superintendence for Archaeological Heritage of Naples and Pompeii, which for at least 10 years has been involved in the redevelopment of these fantastic places that have been too abandoned.
Between September and October, therefore, there will be 7 evenings that will host international artists and Neapolitan musicians who sink their art into culture and tradition, both theatrical and musical, Neapolitan.
Furthermore, for the first time, l'Pausilypon Acoustic Orchestra, composed of 14 Neapolitan musicians who came to know each other during the previous four editions and which will debut the 5 October. The evening will be a tribute to Mediterranean and Cuban culture and music.
Finally, it must be said that, before each appointment, there will be a very special guided tour that will take all guests to the evocative places of Pausilypon, from the Grotta di Seiano to the Odeion and to the Theater of the Ancient Villa D'Otium di Publio Vedio Pollione, where they will meet the artists.
Of course, on no evening is a scenic, electronic and infrastructural set-up used to preserve the archaeological site and make the experience more fascinating and engaging.
Let's see, now, the program of events more in detail.
