On Saturday, 7 February 2026 at 8:30 pm, at the Church of Santa Maria della Pietà in Bologna, the musical association Amade' presents L’Histoire du Soldat.
L’Histoire du Soldat by Igor Stravinsky (1918) is a refined miniature of musical theatre, performed by two singers and an actor, which stages the classic Faustian metaphor: the deceitful Devil who strips humankind of everything.
From a musical point of view, the work consists of an extraordinary succession of fragments that refer to the main genres in vogue at the time: fanfares, ragtime, band music, chorales, tango, and foxtrot.
The whole is entrusted to an ensemble of seven instruments, each with an essential role, with particular mention of the percussion, which for the first time in the history of music take on a solo role in the final march of the work.
