Description

Automatically translated from Italian.

On December 19, 2026, the Fondazione Paolo Grassi in Martina Franca will host a concert dedicated to the genius of E. T. A. Hoffmann, writer, composer, and central figure of European Romanticism. In the 250th anniversary of his birth, the performance brings together works that inspired the most celebrated ballets, from Coppélia to The Nutcracker and Undine. Through music by Schumann, Offenbach, Hoffmann, and Tchaikovsky, accompanied by texts by Hoffmann himself, the concert offers a journey into the fantastical and visionary world of the artist. Featuring the Artists of the Accademia del Belcanto “Rodolfo Celletti,” actor Maurizio Pellegrini, and pianist Carmine Chiarelli, the event explores how his legacy continues to permeate contemporary arts.
