In attesa del suo debutto con A NIGHT ON BROADWAY, ho intervistato per voi il protagonista: Daniele Carta Mantiglia... buona lettura! Daniele Carta Mantiglia, classe 1992, una promessa del teatro musicale italiano. Daniele, tra meno di una settimana debutti con il tuo A Night on Broadway. Lo spettacolo nasce da una tua idea. Di cosa si tratta? Lo spettacolo nasce dall'idea - mia e di Flavio Gismondi - di portare in scena quei brani che dall'infanzia fino ad oggi hanno influenzato, riempito e incorniciato tutta la mia vita, in forma di concerto. Partendo proprio dalla mia infanzia e quindi dal mio incontro diretto con questo mondo, grazie al mio primo lavoro 'Giulietta e Romeo', si e creato quindi un vero e proprio percorso senza distinzioni di genere, ruolo o epoca che fondamentalmente comprende tutti quei brani che volendo o no fanno parte del bagaglio di ogni artista. È nato con la volonta di condividere con amici, colleghi e chiunque altro fosse interessato, emozioni e ricordi per scoprire insieme questo magico mondo, in tutte le sue meraviglie, ma anche in tutte le sue problematiche. È dunque uno spettacolo cucito 'a misura' su di te, che parla delle tue esperienze, dei tuoi successi, dei sogni, delle prime delusioni… È senz'altro piu difficile interpretare se stessi piuttosto che calarsi in un ruolo completamente diverso. Condividi?
