Massimo Ranieri returns to Sardinia with a double date in two evocative outdoor locations with the concert-show "Tutti i sogni ancora in volo" (All Dreams Still in Flight). The first date is August 12th at the Arena del Mare in Golfo Aranci, in Piazza Cossiga, while the following day the 75-year-old Neapolitan singer and actor will perform at the Arena della Fiera in Cagliari.
More than just a live performance, "Tutti i sogni ancora in volo" is a show that blends music, theater, and storytelling into an engaging tale, in which Massimo Ranieri expresses his extraordinary artistic versatility. Created with Edoardo Falcone and produced by Marco De Antoniis, the show alternates great hits, moments of intense performance, personal stories, and theatrical forays, taking audiences on an emotional journey through his fifty-year career.
The repertoire includes songs that have made the history of Italian music , such as “Rose rosse” and “Perdere l'amore,” with which Ranieri won the Sanremo Festival in 1988, and more recent songs, among which “Lettera di là dal mare” stands out, which earned the artist the Critics' Award at the Sanremo Festival 2022, as well as new compositions by some of the most important songwriters of Italian music, such as Ivano Fossati, Pino Donaggio, Bruno Lauzi, Pacifico, Gianni Togni and Giuliano Sangiorgi, collected in the eponymous album “Tutti i sogni ancora in volo,” produced by Gino Vannelli.
On the two dates, organized by the Il Leone e le Cornucopie Association, Ranieri will be accompanied by musicians Danilo Riccardi on piano, Luca Trolli on drums, Arnaldo Vacca on percussion, Andrea Pistilli and Tony Pujia on guitars, Stefano Puglisi on bass and Max Filosi on saxophone, and by singers and multi-instrumentalists Cristiana Polegri, Valentina Pinto and Giovanna Perna.
