"The frottola repertoire, simple in appearance only, is an inexhaustible source of artistic and conceptual inspiration, which never ceases to surprise. The more one delves into its endless compositional and literary variety, the more one is bewitched by its enormous potential, both musical and poetic." - VivaBiancaLuna Biffi

The three acts of this concert describe different moments of the day (sunset, night and morning) which are metaphors for falling in love, the torment of love, and the victory of love over troubles. The prologue and epilogue provide the voice of cynical reality: life is short and love is uncertain.
