E.T.A. Hoffmann (1776-1822) was a multifaceted romantic sui generis: pianist, conductor, critic and writer. His most famous story, The Nutcracker and the Mouse King, represents the fortunate encounter between dreams, music and a touch of horror.
A special opportunity to learn how music and literature share the same root: the genius of imagination.
Readings by Omar Ramero and Giulia Brenna, The Nutcracker Suite by Pyotr Tchaikovsky performed on piano four hands by Maestros Daniela Demicheli and Matteo Costa.
