Christmas Carol with Piccolo Teatro

Charles Dickens' A Christmas Carol, re-adapted and accompanied by live music and carols is the most famous Christmas story. It is the story of Ebenezer Scrooge, an old miser, a man who, in order to react to the pain of his own fate, has long since found his remedy: to get rich. His one great fortune, the one that will save his life, is to have had a friend: Jacob Marley. Marley in the form of a spirit offers to show Scrooge the evil he accomplishes, the beauty now lost and the beauty still possible.
In his tale, Dickens seems to suggest this: it is important to recognise the true values of life, to be cheerful, to indulge one's heart, to be with one's loved ones. Heart, to be with our loved ones always and especially at Christmas. All this will be brought to the stage by the narrative voices of the Piccolo Teatro mixed with pieces played live by musicians to accompany the audience towards the most magical time of the year.
