Limon’s dance style is magnificently strong, masculine and elegant as witnessed by his company that lives on, breathing new life into a vast repertory of works left by its founder who died in 1972.

ROME DAVE ST-PIERRE 24-26 Feb In Un Peu De Tendresse Bordel De Merde! choreography by Dave St-Pierre. This is a controversial work that explores the fears and fantasies of 22 characters as they search for love in a brutal world. It’s a work in which the dancers have to perform naked for much of the time, even bringing their nakedness right down into the auditorium amongst the audience. The Canadian choreographer St-Pierre is fascinated by taboos and breaking them. Here he is trying to create a physical intimacy between dancer and audience.

Tendresse was performed at Sadlers Wells with a guidance rating of 18, and all its publicity contains warnings of “explicit adult material”. What’s more, the dancers point out, if anyone in the audience obviously hates what the dancers are doing, they won’t get picked on. For Festival equilibrio.

Murobushi creates imagery in the spectator’s mind of what the spectator thinks there is to be seen in the dancer’s movement and stillness.

Their parodies of the classics have deep foundations and their dancing is excellent.

Affectionately knows as “the Trocks”, the company never desecrates ballet, just the vanity of ballet dancers. Underneath all the jesting and the preening, there is some solid dancing. Some sequences - like a grand classique pas de deux

- are delivered straight until the very last moment.

By Robert Farquhar, directed by Flavio Parenti, with Antonio Zavatteri, Aldo Ottobrino and Alessia Giuliani. First produced for the edinburgh Fringe Festival in 2002, Robert Farquhar’s black comedy is described as part ghost story and part road movie, a passionate and ultimately uplifting story of life, love and friendship. The action involves little more than getting a just departed friend, Mick, cremated, his flat cleared and his ashes scattered in Scotland. But it becomes more than this: a hungover speculation on death presented as a dramatic poem for the three voices of Henry, Kev and Holly, a trio of misfits. In Italian.

Daniela Dessì stars in Madama Butterfly at Rome's opera house.

OPERA NOTES The two operas in Pisa, Zanetto by Mascagni and Mozart e Salieri by Rimski-Korsakov are conducted by Francesco Pasqualetti and directed by the tenor Gianluca Floris. In Rome the Accademia Filarmonica offers two unusual works, Partita a Pugni by Vieri Tosatti which was very successful when first performed in Venice in 1953 and a new composition commissioned by the Filarmonica, Frecciarotta, by Riccardo Panfili an up-and-coming Italian composer.

Il Teatro di Pisa presenta un dittico formato da Zanetto di Pietro Mascagni e da Mozart e Salieri di Nikolaij Rimskij-Korsakov (25 e 26 febbraio). L’opera italiana è un atto unico che racconta di una cortigiana che si accende d’amore per un giovane cantastorie, alla fine però rinuncia a lui perché la sua condizione di mantenuta non le permette di vivere un amore innocente.

La storia si svolge a Firenze nel periodo del Rinascimento, Mascagni ne rievoca l’atmosfera con una musica che recupera e rielabora madrigali, villotte e stornelli toscani. L’opera di Rimskij-Korsakov ha per soggetto una leggenda: Salieri che avvelena Mozart, per l’invidia che prova per un collega che è un genio musicale, mentre lui è solo un discreto compositore; prevede due scene divise da un intermezzo e ricrea un clima volutamente classico, fatto di continue citazioni stilistiche e tematiche delle musiche sia di Mozart e sia di Salieri. Le due opere saranno dirette da Francesco Pasqualetti e messe in scena dal tenore Gianluca Floris, che ora passa dall’essere guidato da un regista a regolare la recitazione dei cantanti.

L’Accademia Filarmonica Romana presenta al Teatro Olimpico giovedì 23 febbraio (con replica il 24 a Foligno e il 25 febbraio a L’Aquila) Partita a pugni e Frecciarotta. L’autore del primo lavoro teatrale è Vieri Tosatti, che fu musicista ma anche poeta, scrittore e direttore d’orchestra.

Partita a pugni fu composta nel 1952, ottenendo alla prima del 1953 alla Fenice di Venezia un grandissimo successo. La partitura, che inscena un incontro di pugilato in una palestra cittadina, integra parole e musica in un vivace insieme, che non trascura anche il colpo di scena e il paradosso. Frecciarotta sarà invece una prima assoluta commissionata dall’Accademia, che tratta di un argomento di fantasia non distante tuttavia da una possibile realtà: la (s)vendita dell’azienda ferrovia italiana Trenilandia a una analoga compagnia russa molto importante. Questa “cantata ferroviaria” (così è definita) è musicata da Riccardo Panfili, un compositore italiano in ascesa, allievo di Corghi e vincitore di numerosi premi. I due lavori avranno alla direzione d’orchestra Marcello Bufalini e all’adattamento scenico Marco Zannoni.

€ This pizzeria is also nicknamed “L’Obitorio” (the morgue in English) because its tables are covered with slabs of marble. The pizza is thin, Roman style, and good. Even fried appetisers (fiori di zucca and supplì) are not bad. Prices are very reasonable in relation to the quality and quantity of food. The atmosphere is chaotic, but it can also be fun. The only real drawback is the queue if you arrive at rush hour (around 21.00) especially on weekends.
