The event
«Napoli non esiste» is both a show and an album: it tells the story of early twentieth-century Naples through seven poems by Ernesto Murolo, set to music and sung by Lorenzo Hengeller, who also conceived it, composed the music and plays piano.
Lello Arena takes part with stories and anecdotes about the figures of Casa Murolo and with piano improvisations on popular songs. A five-piece ensemble is also on stage, with bass clarinet, violin, saxophones, double bass and accordion. Arrangements are by Geoff Westley and the production is by Jando Music.
