THE NIGHTINGALE BY ANDERSON 

Teatro Bruno Munari / at 03:30 PM

Orchestra I Piccoli Pomeriggi Musicali di Milano (c) Lorenza Daverio

In distant Digitopia, in a palace full of gadgets, artificial intelligence, and smartphones, lives a powerful and somewhat’ vain CEO. But of all the wonders of its tech kingdom, the most precious is not a computer, nor a PlayStation... it is the song of a little bird hidden in the forest: the nightingale! This is the story of how music and freedom are worth more than all the treasures in the world. A poetic fairy tale, full of magic, emotion, and reflection, reminding us that no machine, no matter how perfect, can ever replace the beauty of nature and truth. Written by the famous danish author Hans Christian Andersen, this fairy tale is a little gem of literature. Andersen speaks to us about the fragility of living beings, the need for listening and authenticity, and the saving power of art and freedom.
