Musical MY FAIR LADY
Frederick Loewe

MY FAIR LADY • Oct-23 2021, h 17.00 | Teatro San Carlo, Napoli
A music trip to Naples can be a wonderful combination. The city offers excellent culinary attractions and a cityscape that is best explored on foot with a private guide. You are constantly reminded of the volcano that spilled over Pompeii almost 2,000 years ago. Today this is a worthwhile destination. And then Amalfi invites to a long day trip or a connecting stay. Also Capri, Ischia and the Aeolian Islands. You could easily spend months there.
But the highlight of your musical journey is the visit to the Teatro San Carlo to a performance of your choice.

Still fresh after 60 years from its Broadway opening, this show landed two seasons ago at Teatro di San Carlo. One of the most famous in its genre, this musical run on Broadway for 2717 performances after his debut in March, 1956 and for 2281 performances in the West End. A very young Julie Andrews was casted as Eliza Doolittle, the clumsy flower girl, in both New York and London. The role was then given to Audrey Hepburn for the film version of 1964, which sanctioned the success of the show. It is well known that lyricist Alan Lerner took the plot and dialogue from Bernard Shaw’s Pygmalion (1913) and worked closely with composer Frederick Loewe to create a musical that included all the genre’s fashionable ingredients with funny scenes, misadventures and great chorus numbers. My Fair Lady’s music takes the spectator for a happy spin of famous melodies with entire sections worthy of an opera masterpiece but always light-heartedly. It is the story of a mature professor that falls in love with his creation (Pygmalion’s myth). The girl, to which he teaches phonetics and good bed manners, in order to win a bet and to introduce her to the English upper class, ends up shaking his foundations, and changes his misogynous vision of the world.
