From his retirement from the stage in 2019, Ennio Morricone began working with his son Andrea Morricone (also a composer and conductor) on the show "Ennio Morricone – The Official Concert Celebration", now on a world tour. The show will also stop in Switzerland (in Geneva on 7.12.2022 and Zurich on 8.12.2022) and will stage a concert rich in musical pieces composed during his very long career.
Thus took shape a project that tells his admirers around the world about the Maestro's work in a new way. Ennio Morricone curated the programme for a new production that includes, in addition to music, film clips from his masterpieces, particular care for the lighting to pay homage to the emotions of his notes, a careful choice of the soloists who perform some of his most iconic melodic lines, together with a symphony orchestra and choir, all conducted by his son Andrea.
The audience has the chance to listen to melodies from numerous internationally successful films, spanning more than 50 years of career, such as CINEMA PARADISO, THE MISSION, THE GOOD, THE BAD AND THE UGLY, ONCE UPON A TIME IN AMERICA, THE UNTOUCHABLES. During the show, previously unseen videos are also screened to pay tribute to the Maestro, who passed away in July 2020 at the age of 91.
Conductor
Born and raised in Italy, Andrea Morricone is a composer and conductor known for many of his soundtracks for numerous films. Among many, one of his most celebrated compositions is the "Love Theme" featured in the film "Cinema Paradiso", on which his father Ennio also collaborated. For this composition they won the BAFTA Award.
Andrea Morricone is the conductor of all the dates of the World Tour "THE OFFICIAL CONCERT CELEBRATION", which begins in November 2022 and includes more than 15 dates across Europe and Asia. Further information is available at www.andreamorricone.org
