Directing
From the Arturo Toscanini Auditorium in Turin, the RAI National Symphony Orchestra, conducted by Andrés Orozco-Estrada, performs a selection of music from Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky’s two-act ballet "The Nutcracker", Op. 71. Actors Mario Acampa and Elisa Lombardi enhance the performance, bringing the magical atmosphere of Christmas to life.
For Il Gabbiano, the first stage of the Chekhov Project, director Leonardo Lidi creates a simple stage setting in which he weaves together a sound box for the emotions that drive the characters, isolated on the shores of a large lake on a summer estate.
