MILAN – Some of Italy’s most elegant theatres hosted the “Anello Mancante Tour,” an intimate acoustical show by Sicilian singer and songwriter Carmen Consoli.A total of 16 Outline Butterfly CDH 483 Hi-packs and four Outline Subtech 218 SP amplified the notes of her intimate show for a few lucky spectators.
Four Outline H.A.R.D. 115 SP – of which three were for Carmen – were used as stage monitors.
As well as the vocals and guitar, the set design of the “Anello Mancante Tour” helped symbolize its simplicity. In fact, it was essential based on three elements: a chair, lamp and photo of actress Anna Magnani, to which the singer is very attached. It should be remembered that Carmen Consoli wrote a song for the latest album by Adriano Celentano, entitled precisely “Anna Magnani”: a beautiful intense song; one of the songstresses characteristics is the search for a true poetic quality in her lyrics.
The most important Italian theatres hosting the show included the Arcimboldi Theatre (Milan), Ponchielli Theatre (Cremona), Verdi Theatre (Florence), Paganini Auditorium (Parma), Parco Della Musica Auditorium (Rome). The “Anello Mancante Tour” visited the entire country, from the Trent region to Sicily.
The rental company was Blackout s.r.l. of Vasto (Chieti), a firm with an Outline Butterfly stock comprising sixteen CDH 483 Hi-Packs and eight Subtech 218 SP, and the system was under the control of William Antico (system engineer) and Gianluca Vaccaro (FOH engineer).
Consoli has just ended a mini-tour in the United States – Boston, New York and Washington – which had “House Full” signs up and met with a flattering review from the New York Times, which described the artist as a ”a magnificent combination of a rocker and an intellectual.”
