Fiorenza Calogero: Naples is in blossom

I met Fiorenza at Trianon while the play "'Na sceneggiata" was on stage

Her show, "Napoli in fiore" (Naples is in blossom) excites the audience with the Neapolitan song classics and accurate coregraphies

You can visit Fiorenza's web site by clicking on her picture on the right. For further info on the show or if you want to organise a date of Fiorenza's "Napoli in fiore" you can contact me

Following is a presentation of "Naple is in blossom" and its music programme 

"Naples is in blossom" is a recital of Neapolitan song classics with arrangements which recall Astor Piazzolla's tango nuevo sound and Paris bistrot sonority. The final part of the concert is dedicated to popular music with a medley of Neapolitan "tammurriate". The concert lasts one hour and a half and it is recommendable to perform a single act, in order to keep the "atmosphere" going. The music programme is the following:

- FRONNA POPOLARE
