Tozzi directs his own music
Musical direction is by Umberto Tozzi himself: this is not a tribute assembled around a repertoire, but a show in which the author of those songs shapes how they reach the stage. Written by Andrea Maia, Toni Fornari and Vincenzo Sinopoli, and directed by Andrea Maia and Toni Fornari, it combines musical theatre, storytelling and the atmosphere of a concert.
Who Gloria is
At the centre of the story is Gloria, a talented young woman who dreams of becoming a successful singer. Her path runs through family conflict, love, betrayal, sacrifice, friendship and decisive choices, giving body to a character who for years existed only in the imagination of those listening to the song.
More than twenty-one hits
The show features more than twenty-one of Umberto Tozzi's hits, among them «Gloria», «Ti amo», «Tu», «Stella stai», «Notte rosa» and «Io camminerò», turning songs lodged in collective memory into staged moments.
