A Thousand And One Nights: Dates, Cities & Tickets

*A Thousand And One Nights, A Concert Film Experience*

Step into a world where night comes alive across continents and centuries, guided by the timeless mastery of the Orchestra Sinfonica Siciliana under the baton of Alessandro Bonato. The evocative sound of clarinet celebrated in this film is brought to life by the luminous Pablo Barragán, whose playing illuminates the rich tapestry of the program.

Begin with the mysterious *“Night of the Mayas”, a haunting retelling of Silvestre Revueltas’ composition for Chano Urueta’s 1939 film, opening with a Molto sostenuto introspection. The music swells into a lively “Night of Revelry” (Scherzo), followed by a lyrical Yucatan Night (Andante espressivo) that paints the twilight shores of Mexico. The story culminates in “Night of Enchantment,” a dramatic Theme and Variations* that invites listeners into a dreamscape of ancient wonders.

The journey continues with Daniel Freiberg’s *“Latin American Chronicles for Clarinet and Orchestra,” showcasing a vibrant collage of Panoramic Views, Dialogues, and Influences that evoke the spirited pulse of Buenos Aires. The film then pays homage to the majesty of Rimsky‑Korsakov’s Scheherazade* suite, weaving together:

- *The Sea and Sinbad’s Ship (Large and Majestic, Slow, Allegro Non Troppo)*

- *The Story of Prince Kalender (Lento, Andantino)*

- *The Young Prince and the Young Princess (Andantino quasi allegretto, Pochissimo più mosso)*

- *Celebration in Baghdad, the Sea, the Shipwreck (Allegro molto and frenetico, Vivo, Allegro non troppo and maestoso)*

Each movement is a vibrant spectacle, blending rhythmic vigor with lyrical grace to transport audiences through myth and memory.

Don’t miss this immersive concert film, a celebration of melody, culture, and the eternal allure of the night.
