LB2-AT9213 - Agliano 16/8/92 Maggio 'Eronte' compagnia di Piazza al Serchio audio tape 1 of 2

Agliano 16/8/92 Maggio 'Eronte' by the compagnia di Piazza al Serchio at the registrazione a Agliano audio tape 1 of 2. The Piazza al Serchio company performed regularly throughout the 1990s and early 2000s in the maggio series sponsored by the Centro Tradizioni Popolari della Provincia di Lucca. The text is based on chivalrous themes, and some of its history is traced in Barwick, L. (1994). The Filipino Komedya and the Italian Maggio: Cross-Cultural Perspectives on Related Genres of Popular Music Theatre. In A. M. Gibbs (Ed.), Masks of Time: Drama and its Contexts (pp. 71-108). Canberra: Australian Academy of the Humanities. This is the same Maggio text and company as LB2-AT9205, here performing on home territory (Agliano, a small village near Gramolazzo in the upper Garfagnana, is the home village of the company's leading lady, Iole Paladini). Note they did extra arietta at end especially for the Agliano audience. It was a nice venue, but sword fights suffered from slippery surface. Tape 1 contains Stanzas 1-52.2 (side A) and 26.2-102.2 (side B). Tape 2 contains 102.4-end.. Language as given: Italian
