The Night of Italian Song: Una Come Me Concerto by Vera Dragone
A tribute to the golden era of Italian television variety, performed live with dancers, singers, and a live band.
This Italian variety show concert by director Vera Dragone revives the glamour and musical richness of 1960s Italian television, bringing nine artists together on one stage for an evening of song, dance, and spectacle. Drawing its title from a celebrated composition by Lelio Luttazzi, the show pays homage to a cultural moment that defined a generation.
The repertoire reaches back to the great ensemble numbers that made performers such as Raffaella Carra, Milva, Ornella Vanoni, Mina, Jula De Palma, and Luttazzi himself into enduring icons. The show channels the spirit of Milleluci, the beloved Italian broadcast that remains one of the most fondly remembered variety productions in the country's television history.
The evening closes with a burlesque sequence that adds an element of elegance and mystery to the performance, evoking the sensibility of classic Italian cinema. The effect is theatrical, refined, and deeply nostalgic, offering audiences a window into a world of entertainment that has largely disappeared from modern stages.
With a live band anchoring every number and choreography woven throughout, the production presents a full theatrical experience rather than a simple concert. Each scene builds on the last, creating a cumulative portrait of an era when variety television was the heartbeat of Italian popular culture.
