alt! arena, I'm coming !!

From the capital, the musical home of  Renato Zero  moves to the Verona Arena: in its own way, an enchanting and unsettling scenario hosting the three dates (1, 2 and 3 June), symbol of the live return of an artist we have been waiting for for some time. The emotion is palpable, from the insiders to the public and Renato himself, who we see in his dressing room before the concert. It is difficult to describe the whirlwind of sensations and that atmosphere of pleasant and anxious anticipation. Under the rain of Verona, there are three generations who confront each other, dance and sing the songs of the Roman singer one after the other.Renato Zero is the charismatic artist who, in more than 40 years of career, has always guaranteed us the smile, enthusiasm, hope and strength to dig into the truth, challenging social conventions and public opinion. But his real strength is the audience, beautiful and passionate even on the first date of «Alt Arena Arrival!». After all, it is like finding a friend or a brother: after the initial separation, one immediately finds mutual trust and the feeling of never having been lost. Because Renato, besides being an optimistic poet, is simply and only himself on stage; he knows how to get in touch with people for his ability to share thoughts and celebrate life. "It is not a coincidence, being there is an infinite wealth" sings Renato Zero in a new song, the first of a set of thirty pieces: it is called "Non Forget About Me", and he does not perform it on stage but makes it listen . A significant beginning because it represents almost an act of love towards the fans and a thank you to them for always following him with immense affection, a gesture that is applauded and much appreciated.
Observing the lineup means having a good part of the musical beauties of our country in front of you: without any medley, there is a substantial list of titles taken from the last " Alt " and the legendary hits, the classics of the late seventies up to two-thousand. The continuous musical alternation between past and present is ideally combined with an imposing stage: with three maxi screens and numerous plays of light and shapes, it is accompanied by the orchestra conducted by maestro Renato Serio and an unusual choir, the  Casually Blacks  ("Sympathy and humility, the boys love each other very much and it's important. Let's go it alone: the public has understood that ours is homemade pasta"). With them he performed an acoustic version of «Inventi», a successful but perhaps too risky experiment.
Precise and elegant, the first part of the concert flows quickly without any smudging: a perfect and balanced voice, a still powerful timbre and a great attention to the spectacular sound. «Excuse me, I'm excited! I am doing a show but you are doing another, beautiful one. Verona is converting to Zerofollia, and these walls sing my playlist »confesses Renato moved by genuine emotion.
It embraces and envelops the public (12,000 people only in the first evening) through an energetic and stimulating show: from the most romantic ballads, the witty moments, the numerous changes of clothes, the songs full of rhythm, the sensual atmospheres up to delicate topics such as faith, violence against women and the current political situation. Among the touching moments of the evening, there is the tribute to Gabriella Ferri who performed with Emma with the song "Per Semper" and the other ("Friend") sung with  Francesco Renga. More mature and technical, less sparkling and more reflective, traditional discoverer of the colors of our soul: this is also the small revolution of Renato Zero, the innovator of music who turns to the future with a rare and beautiful positivity.
