L'Amore Non Significa Niente
An imaginary Heavy Rock tale from the Scala opera house Milan built 3/8/1778
Antonio Salieri ( renowned Italian composer also featured in the 1979 stage play and 1984 film Amadeus) attends the inaugural performance of the Milan Scala Opera house, his opera Europa riconosciuta,
“ a story of love, violence and political discord in ancient times. The central character, Europa, was once the lover of Zeus and helps resolve all disagreements after she discloses her identity – thus the title "Europa Revealed".
-Wikipedia
He is a bitter man confused and tormented by love and music .
His lead character Europa epitomizes his own desires having based the character of Zeus in his opera on himself.
On his death his spirit is returned and embedded in the walls of the Scala Milan Opera house opera house for eternity, forever seeking the answer to his lifelong question , What does love mean?
Locked in an eternal conversation with his lead character, each night after midnight he is released from the walls and asks “What does love mean?” Every night Europa reveals herself and answers him as they dance to the music of his opera Europa riconosciuta, her voice resonating around the Scala Milan Opera house , "L’amore non significa niente" , love means nothing .
This recording uses impulse responses, a true and life like simulation of the acoustic space that is the Scala Milan Opera House.
