Over three hours in flight. With the “companion” of a lifetime, the soundtrack of joys and sorrows, of pure emotions, of generations who have grown up making their way together or rather “road making”. Claudio Baglioni returns to the “Vittorio Emanuele” Theater for the three days dedicated to his “Piano di volo solo Tris”, the third chapter of the live musical experience in opera theaters that is crossing Italy and which overall has collected over 300 stages!
Let’s say it right away: it’s not a concert. It is a story of music and words from someone who at 74 is the only protagonist on the scene. A solitary journey in which the man, the artist and the interpreter meet through interpretations that are fantasy but also rigor. The inevitable one that must accompany a show of over 200′ through which a career and a path or a route to put it in his words unfold. Claudio Baglioni is the pilot who announces and issues his flight plan, chosen to travel through time and space together with the spectator passengers. On stage there is only one accompanist, the piano, available in three modes: acoustic, electric and digital. A story that is at times excessive and at times astonishing, with songs that in the solo version return to the essential to find the origin of everything.
Baglioni uses the intelligent and gentle irony of his being for the narrative and conquers the audience who would have loved him even if he had been silent the whole time, because “My dark eyes and I grew up together…”.
It begins with “Man of Various Ages”, goes through “The Most Beautiful Years” and again “Water from the Moon”. Then an alternation of melancholy and hope, with love as the common thread of love: “With all the love I can”, “Love in progress”, “Lovesickness”, “Tomorrow never” and “Blue rain” pass in sequence. Notes and anecdotes for a film which is the film of a Teatro Vittorio Emanuele sold out today and tomorrow too and which waits for the last hour of the concert to be definitively carried away by “Saturday afternoon”, “Strada fare” (the only song with guitar) and those three medleys which are much more: “Poster”, “Io me ne andrei”, “And now the advertisement”, “Via”. And again “Cuore d’aliante”, “Dagli il via”, “Un nuova giorno un giorno nuova”, “Io sono qui” and finally “Amore bello”, “E tu”, “This little big love”, “E tu come stai” are the appetizer which is already more than the lunch before the three encores “You will have”, “Mille giorni di te e di me” and the final act with which Baglioni continues to repeat that he will also be 74 years old, over 2000 concerts and 350 songs written but… “Life is now”.
