GOMALAN BRASS IN ROVERETO AT TEATRO ZANDONAI FOR SETTENOVECENTO FESTIVAL - DF Artists

Shostakovich nel pallone

An uncommon story of Soviet life.

Dmitry Shostakovich was not only one of the greatest musicians of the twentieth century, but also a knowledgeable football enthusiast. Through his comments and sporting recollections, we reconstruct a slice of Soviet history (between the 1930s and 1960s) populated by often unwieldy characters. In this tale, based on real facts and imaginary reflections, the stories of Nikolai Starostin and Lev Yashin, two celebrated footballers who were not equally successful, intertwine with that of Shostakovich, a composer in constant public and private conflict with political power.

Gomalan Brass Quintet and actor Sebastiano Bronzato will will lead the audience by the hand into the world and music of Shostakovich on September 20th, 2025 8:30 pm at the beautiful Teatro Zandonai in Rovereto for the 2025 edition of Settenovecento Festival.
