The story, taken by the Memories of Casanova, tells about the life of the young Casanova from the death of his father when he was a little child since his escape from the Venetian prison. The life of Casanova, a magnificent fresco of the cosmopolitan and libertine life of the XVIII century, is narrated by an actor while opera singers and the orchestra perform arias and music by Vivaldi, Bach, Mozart, Haendel and other masters of the baroque age. Actors, acrobats and dancers recreate the atmosphere of Venice and Istanbul, from the magic palace of a pasha where Casanova had a homosexual affair since the lively and exciting golden age of the Carnival of Venice, when the famous libertine had a love adventure with a nun, Maria Maddalena, belonging to a noble family.
The music play has been represented with success in theatre and in historical palaces, thanks to its setting composed only by stage elements and by the sumptuous costumes created by the Atelier Tiepolo.
