The firm partnered with Fondazione Arena di Verona to co-produce this immersive concert with three-dimensional projections, coinciding with the 300th anniversary of Antonio Vivaldi‘s famous masterpiece, The Four Seasons.
The show was presented in a single act without interruptions. It remained strictly faithful to the original score while offering an immersive sensory experience that combined the timeless beauty of orchestral music with cutting-edge technology. The star of the performance was young violinist Giovanni Andrea Zanon, winner of prestigious international competitions, performing alongside the Arena di Verona Orchestra.
The combination of sophisticated LED structures, lights and SFX transformed the stage, projecting images above the audience and creating a new storytelling language. The 29 members of the Orchestra of the Fondazione Arena di Verona performed between two impressive LED walls: a rear LED wall measuring 18 meters by six and an innovative 22-meter by nine see-through front LED wall, creating a stunning visual depth effect.
It was a dynamic concert, with Giovanni Andrea Zanon playing on side platforms, alongside the orchestral musicians and at centre stage. The sophisticated technology employed in the show, featuring transparent LED screens and advanced lighting effects, masterfully blended the musical performance with a captivating visual journey through the four seasons.
From spring, with its first birds and the lush blooming of trees, to summer, with its warm colours, sunshine, and summer storms, to autumn, with the fruits and nature’s harvest, and finally winter, with its animals, cold, and rain, each season was represented through a series of poetic 3D images that fully immersed the audience in the beauty and wonder of nature.
The show has been mentioned in over 226 instances across various agencies, newspapers, magazines, websites, and news/radio. Reviewers called it “a show never seen before,” “an imagination-filled reinterpretation of the masterpiece that has lived up to its promise of captivating not only classical and live music lovers but also new generations,” and a “revolutionary show that enchanted the audience.”
It captivated an audience of young people and classical music enthusiasts, who honoured the performance with repeated standing ovations.
The event was entirely sold out and entertained over 10,000 guests. It has already been confirmed that Viva Vivaldi, The Four Seasons Immersive Concert, will return to Arena di Verona’s 2025 programme.
