Voglio vederti danzare

On August 10, 2025, a special show - a tribute to Franco Battiato - will take place at the Roman Theatre.

The event represents one of the most intense and authentic tributes to the genius of the Sicilian singer-songwriter, celebrated on the occasion of two significant anniversaries: the 80th anniversary of his birth and the fourth anniversary of his passing.

In this context, the stop in Verona assumes a particularly symbolic value: it was precisely the concert in 1982 at the Arena that marked a turning point in his career, solidifying the success of the album The Voice of the Master and ushering his unique style into the mainstream.

I Want to See You Dance is a musical journey through the various creative seasons of Battiato: from the turning point of the Era of the White Boar to the literary references of Prospettiva Nevskij, from the mystical tension of Permanent Center of Gravity to the evocative charm of the title track. It is a sound story that highlights Battiato's extraordinary ability to blend poetry, spiritual exploration, and musical innovation.

A living and heartfelt tribute to one of the most original innovators of Italian music.
