'Everyone up! Happy birthday Claudio', the film event on the unpublished musical project by Claudio Baglioni “Twelve Notes – All up!”. Twelve extraordinary events held from 3 to 19 June 2022 at the Baths of Caracalla to open the opera season of the Rome Opera House. For the first time ever such a prestigious opening has been entrusted to a composer and interpreter of modern music for a highly innovative, powerful and interdisciplinary show.
All up, happy birthday Claudio
The event film is produced by Friends & Partners with Come srl, in collaboration with the Teatro dell'Opera di Roma and is distributed by Jellyfish Movie. “Twelve Notes – All up!” it saw Baglioni accompanied by 123 classical and modern musicians, singers and performers, with the artistic direction and stage direction of Giuliano Peparini. Also on stage is the Italian Cinema Orchestra, founded in the historic recording studios "Forum Studios” and directed by Danilo Minotti, author of the arrangements together with Paolo Gianolio, and the Giuseppe Verdi Choir with the Artistic Director Marco Tartaglia and the Choir Master Anna Elena Masini.
“Three stadiums (also considering the tennis centre), two auditoriums, large and small theatres, the square of the childhood quarter in Centocelle and that of Saint Peter, the Paul VI room in the Vatican. And, again, prisons and hospitals, the stairway of Trinità dei Monti, even on the moving tram and on a truck in Ostia. In Rome, my city, I played practically everywhere”. This was stated by Claudio Baglioni himself who, in over 50 years of career, lacked an iconic and fascinating place in the heart of the city: the Baths of Caracalla. “A total show” as the artist defines it, between music, dance and theatre, lights and stage effects, for a duration of over three hours. Baglioni was accompanied during the performance by 123 people including musicians, choristers, classical and modern performers.
