Alteria Teatro Niccolini: Belle storie di Rock'n'Roll

Everyone has had a song, a record, a first listen that at some point changed their direction. That question, what was your spark, is where the stage show by Alteria, Virgin Radio host and rock singer-songwriter, begins. It premieres Friday, November 6 at the Teatro Niccolini in Florence.

One question, many sparks

Even the legends had their spark, and the show tells it as a chain: Keith Richards with Chuck Berry, Elvis with Sister Rosetta Tharpe, John Lennon with Elvis, and so on down the line. The story jumps from one decade to the next. It starts with Sister Rosetta Tharpe, the “godmother of rock ‘n’ roll,” moves through the Beatles’ first meeting with Elvis, the mud of Woodstock and the 27 Club, and lands on Syd Barrett, Freddie Mercury, David Bowie and Kurt Cobain. True stories, curious anecdotes and live music.

On stage: Alteria, Amudi Safa and Fabio Zacco

The format is unplugged, built to give rock a more intimate dimension: the songs become the starting point for telling the stories of the people, the episodes and the insights behind some of the key chapters in music history. It is not just a concert but a journey through stories and sounds, for lifelong rock listeners and for anyone who wants to discover where it all began.

Joining Alteria, singer, songwriter and host, are two musicians with long résumés: Amudi Safa on guitar, who has worked with Italian stars Ultimo and Piero Pelù, and Fabio Zacco on piano, also known for his years with the Italian rock band Le Vibrazioni.
