	WORLD PREMIERE on DVD Molino conducts Mosca's Signor Goldoni Signor Goldoni by composer Luca Mosca and librettist Gianluigi Melega was commissioned by Teatro La Fenice to celebrate the 300th anniversary of Carlo Goldoni. The World Premiere, conducted by Andrea Molino in September 2007 at La Fenice in Venice is now available on dvd. A cast of internationally renowned singers including Barbara Hannigan, Alda Caiello, Sara Mingardo and Cristina Zavalloni is directed by Davide Livermore. Andrea Molino conducts the Orchestra and Chorus of Teatro La Fenice. The lively two-act comedy is an homage to Carlo Goldoni, but even more to Venice. Taking place in a surreal, dreamlike dimension of complete imaginative liberty, it is a play of masks that bears the stamp of comic energy, allusion, delicacy and - thanks to its music - a constant, incessant movement. more

	Dresden - October 12, 2008 Molino conducts Closing Event of 22nd Dresden Festival of Contemporary Music Andrea Molino will conduct the Dresdner Sinfoniker on occasion of the closing concert of the 22nd Dresden Festival of Contemporary Music on October 12, 2008 at 8pm in the Festspielhaus Hellerau (great concert hall). On the programme: - a space odyssey \| de stijl :: remix08 Louis Andriessen: De Stijl Speaker: Beppie Blanckert Solo Voices: Tannie Willemstein, Marleene Goldstein, Barbara Borden, Ananda Goud Stanley Kubrick's "2001 - A Space Odyssey": live Video-ReMix VJ: ivan e. Dresdner Sinfoniker Conductor: Andrea Molino The unconventional and exciting orchestration of Louis Andriessen's masterwork „De Stijl" (no strings, 6 saxophones, brass, three pianos - one of them upright-, synth, two electric guitars, electric bass, 4 female voices, rock percussions...) is probably the most evident and spectacular common element between the two parts of this unusual concert program. In reality, the concept that organically relates Andriessen's visionary work to ivan e.'s video-remix of Stanley Kubrick's cult film - one of the musically most specific movies of the history of cinema - goes far beyond this. The goal is to define new boundaries of the concept and the praxis of live performance: existing rituals are no more sufficient, new paths need to be explored. After their first collaboration in Paris for the WINNERS project, Andrea Molino and the Dresdner Sinfoniker meet again on this common vision. more

	June 6, 2008 – Le Fresnoy, Studio National des Arts Contemporains, Lille un Temps vécu, ou qui pourrait l’être A multimedia staged concert (2007-2008) World Premiere Categories such as simultaneity, temporal linearity, univocity of the concept of duration (that is, memory) not only form part of the everyday arsenal of the musician. They are the pillars on which stand all possible types of communication through which the entire information exchange system within a community is transmitted: its culture. Closer inspection, however, shows how this construct of elements is not as solid as it might appear. The identification of possible "deviations" from the system of collective conventions can liberate a surprising charge of linguistic and expressive potential: for example, a series of perceptual illusions that can prove stimulating, interesting and amusing. The purpose of the present project is precisely to explore its vocabulary, by employing in the musical field and in the context of a concert the linguistic possibilities of the new communication technologies. The project, produced by Le Fresnoy – Studio National des Arts Contemporains and published by RAI Trade, is performed by David Moss (vocalist), Michele Marelli (basset horn), Marco Giovinazzo (percussions) and Emmanuelle Fitamant (actress), and features a.o. video materials from the project "We, On Death Row" by Oliviero Toscani. The World Premiere will take place on June 6, 2008 at Le Fresnoy (Lille) on occasion of the opening of the exhibition "Panorama 9-10".
