MAXXI Museo Nazionale delle Arti del xxI secolo, better known as MAxxI, offers a series of services in addition to numerous exhibitions. It organises workshops, shows, screenings, training projects and conferences, which testify to MAxxI’s role not only as a place for the display and the conservation of 21st-century art, but also as a laboratory for cultural experimentation and innovation, study and research.

The building, designed by Zaha Hadid, contains a cafeteria, located in the museum’s hall.

Visitors can rent audioguides, available in Italian and English from the museum’s ticket office.

(Single audio-guide €5, double €7, free for kids aged six to 12 with an annexed portable Nintendo Dsi xL, which includes a treasure hunt that explores the building and its exhibitions).

Guided tours for individuals and groups are available in Italian, English and French from Tues to Sun but a reservation is required.

Facing the main building, visitors can see a pre-existing structure, better known as MAxxI21, which has been restored recently within Hadid’s project. MAxxI21 houses MAxxI B.A.S.E (Biblioteca, Archivio, Studi, Editoria) with the museum’s library and archives – divided into arts and architecture – and a laboratory for advanced research.

MAxxI21 also hosts a bookshop, managed by Electa-Mondadori, with a large selection of art publications, as well as books on architecture, design and photography. (Tue-Fri, Sun 11.0019.00, Sat 11.00-22.00).

The MAxxI21 restaurant is based on two essential principles: Km 0 and 0 Calories. The first allows visitors to try typical products from Rome and the Lazio countryside, with special emphasis on seasonal foods and simple, traditional recipes. In the second there is a choice of low-calorie dishes. (Tue-Sun from 12.00, tel. 06 3207230).

The idea is that in this way, every person who donates a garment, with all its baggage of memory associated with children’s clothes, will form part of the work.

From its historical centre, the Stazione Leopolda, it stretches out across the city of Florence with events in other spaces such as squares, streets and urban crossroads. The programme features a line-up of international and national contemporary dance, music, theatre, visual arts and multimedia.

Opening the festival on 3 May is a new production by Flemish choreographer, director and film maker Wim Vandekeybus entitled Oedipus/Bet Noir. With his 16-strong company of actors, dancers and musicians, Vandekeybus in the title role explores the tragic myth of Oedipus “As a choreographer and director, I like being in the production myself; it’s the perfect way to defend your work”.

BALLETTO DEL TEATRO ALLA SCALA 3-23 May In Marguerite and Armand choreography by Frederick Ashton, and Concerto DSCH choreography by Alexei Ratmansky, with Svetlana Zakharova, Roberto Bolle, Massimo Murru.

Ratmanksy’s work Concerto DSCH on Shostakovich’s 1957 Piano Concerto No. 2 which is a hopeful and joyous work inspired by the end of the Stalin era in Russia.

EIFMAN BALLET ST PETERSBURG 9- 10 May In Anna Karenina, choreography by Boris Eifman. The contemporary Russian choreographer, who runs his own company out of St Petersburg, has often been criticised for his emotional ballets with over-the-top stories.

And Tolstoy’s famed tale of infidelity and regret is as overblown as you may expect with much unsubtle symbolism. While most of the ballet is set to Tchaikovsky, Anna’s breakdown is danced to cacophonous modern music giving life to a kind of nightmare vision of purgatory.

The performance is interesting, but not for purists.

ROME INDEPENDENT FILM FESTIVAL 12-20 April In its 12th year, Rome Independent Film Festival (RIFF) includes the Italian premiere of Belfast filmmaker John McIlduff’s “Behold The Lamb”, a darkly comic road movie set in Northern Ireland.

The 7-day annual festival celebrates new European and international independent films, and allows young filmmakers the chance to present their work to new audiences. RIFF hosts dozens of feature films, documentaries and shorts from over 40 countries, which compete for the RIFF Awards. The event includes seminars and cinema workshops.

For full details see www.riff.it.

St Petersburg's Eifman Ballet performs Anna Karenina

by Tolstoy to a backdrop of music by Tchaikovsky.

gramme is a tribute to the artistic vision of Béjart who died in 2007 and includes Grand Rhythme, choreography by van Hoecke, Eden, choreography by Maguy Marin and Béjart’s own Symphonie pour un homme seul and Gaité Parisienne. Béjart’s vision was of ballet as a 20th-century art form that would be as popular as cinema. His approach to the realisation of his vision was always evolutionary rather than revolutionary. The traditions of classical ballet were to be augmented rather than thrown away.

Classical ballet technique was enriched from the dance traditions of India, Africa, China and Japan. Opera house performances were supplemented by spectacular productions in circus arenas and sports centres. During the course of five creative decades, Béjart was the principal author of almost 250 individual dance works (including more than 40 fulllength ballets). It is an output that attracted – and inspired, invigorated and informed – a much wider audience than is drawn to mainstream ballet.

OPERA

THEATRE

OPERA NOTES Pier Luigi Pizzi’s successful 1985 production of Händel’s opera Rinaldo goes on stage in Ravenna, Reggio Emilia and Ferrara. This masterpiece of baroque was composed in 14 days and was the secret of Handel’s subsequent success in London.

In Venice Jessica Pratt and Shalva Mukeria will be singing in Bellini’s La Sonnambula at La Fenice after their success a year ago in Lucia di Lammermoor.

Il Teatro Alighieri di Ravenna presenta Rinaldo di Georg Friedrich Händel (20 e 22 aprile), che fu composta in soli 14 giorni e diede il via al successo di Händel a Londra. Racconta di Rinaldo e Almirena che si amano felici, ma che vengono separati da Argante e Armida, invaghiti di loro e invidiosi della loro felicità; le due coppie saranno interpretate rispettivamente da Marina De Liso e Maria Grazia Schiavo e da Riccardo Novaro e Roberta Invernizzi. La direzione sarà di Ottavio Dantone alla guida del complesso barocco “Accademia Bizantina”, mentre la regia, come le scene e i costumi, saranno di Pier Luigi Pizzi. Torna in Emilia Romagna uno spettacolo che fu proposto la prima volta a Reggio Emilia nel 1985 e che si presenta ancora come uno degli spettacoli più apprezzati e di maggior fascino di Pizzi. È il trionfo del teatro barocco grazie alla ricostruzione di un marmoreo salone settecentesco, dove alcuni mimi muovono statue equestri, colonne e piedistalli, su cui stanno i personaggi dell’opera vestiti di ricchissimi costumi di color rossoporpora e azzurro-oro. Rinaldo sarà replicato al Teatro Valli di Reggio Emilia (27 e 29 aprile) e al Teatro Comunale di Ferrara (4 e 6 maggio).

Al Teatro La Fenice di Venezia va in scena La sonnambula di Vincenzo Bellini (21 aprile–25 maggio). È un’opera delicata, fatta di tenui sonorità orchestrali e melodie dolcissime che devono essere cantate con morbidezza, con lunghe arcate di suono e agilità precise e aggraziate. I primi interpreti furono il soprano Giuditta Pasta, che aveva una vocalità nobile e di grande purezza, e il tenore Giovanni Battista Rubini, abituato a un canto delicato e sfumato che arrivava a note acutissime. A Venezia questi ruoli così stilizzati, che furono di cantanti così eccellenti e intensi, saranno interpretati da due artisti che stanno riscuotendo attualmente grandi successi: Jessica Pratt e Shalva Mukeria; lo scorso anno proprio alla Fenice hanno cantato insieme nella Lucia di Lammermoor di Donizetti entusiasmando il pubblico, che li ha ripagati con un diluvio di applausi. Negli altri ruoli principali si esibiranno Giovan Battista Parodi e Anna Viola; la direzione d’orchestra sarà di Gabriele Ferro e la regia di Bepi Morassi.

€ 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.
