Bustric
Orchestra Sinfonica di Milano Giuseppe Verdi
conductor Marcello Bufalini

La Verdi and Bustric offer a fascinating journey to India, featuring the adventures of Mowgli and his friends. A faraway and mysterious country, which we will visit remembering a beautiful film to cartoons by Walt Disney, The Jungle Book , which takes its cue from a book, and tells the story of Mowgli, a little boy protagonist of a thousand adventures told by the English writer Joseph Rudyard Kipling.
Music has often dealt with this novel, which has had several film versions.
Miklòs Ròzsa, in particular, composed the music for Walt Disney's 1942 film The Jungle Book .
Bustric stages this music as a narrator and performer at the same time and tells this story wearing the role of an Indian traveler, with turban and gold shoes, traveling with his beautiful bicycle.
India appears to us as a fairy tale country, made of colorful maps and plastic flowers, the characters and situations are represented with small and big tricks, unexpected and original. It is a transformative show
, ...pure fun, an exercise in style. The tricks and costumes are constructed from Bustric himself, becoming an integral part of the story, carried on with lightness and irony.
A bit clownish in some of the gimmicks and a bit like a cartoon, this show tells us about the adventures of Mowgli, the little man cub, who will never become a "good savage" because he finds in the jungle the civilization that man seems to have forgotten.
Mowgli shows us that entertainment can be an amazing game.

The Orchestra Sinfonica di Milano Giuseppe Verdi , founded in 1993 from Vladimir Delman, has established itself from a few years ago as one of the most relevant national symphonic ensembles, capable of tackling a repertoire ranging from from Bach to the cornerstones of nineteenth-century symphonism to twentieth-century music. The Orchestra's program schedule includes more than thirty symphonic programs each year, with a layout in which the classics are flanked from less usual pages, as well as some adjoining seasons, such as the "Crescendo in Musica" cycle, an important review for children and young people.From 1999 to 2005, Riccardo Chailly, now Honorary Conductor, served as Music Director.Wayne Marshall and Helmuth Rilling have held the position of Principal Guest Conductors since the 2008/2009 season; Maestro Rudolf Barshai, from many years connected with the Orchestra, has been Conductor Emeritus since the 2006/2007 season, a position held by Carlo Maria Giulini until his passing. Cornist Radovan Vlatkovic and pianist Simone Pedroni, on the other hand, have been present, since the 2007/2008 season, as Resident Artists.For the 2009/2010 season, China's Xian Zhang is Music Director, while Ruben Jais holds the position of Resident Conductor.On October 6, 1999, Mahler's Symphony No. 2 Resurrection, conducted from Riccardo Chailly, inaugurated the Orchestra's new permanent home, the Milan Auditorium. Another distinctive element of the Orchestra is the establishment, in October 1998, of the Giuseppe Verdi Symphonic Chorus of Milan, led until his death by Maestro Romano Gandolfi, a prestigious figure in choral conducting who has worked with the greatest conductors and in the most important opera houses in the world. The Chorus currently has 100 members capable of tackling the great operatic-symphonic repertoire from the Baroque to the twentieth century.Some recurring appointments mark the Verdi's musical journey: the performance of the complete cycle of Mahler's Symphonies, the annual appointment with one of Bach's great Passions near the Easter holidays, and the New Year's Eve concert with Beethoven's Ninth Symphony. The Orchestra has been conducted by, among others from Riccardo Chailly, Georges Prêtre, Riccardo Muti, Valery Gergiev, Rudolf Barshai, Claus Peter Flor, Christopher Hogwood, Helmuth Rilling, Peter Maag, Marko Letonja, Daniele Gatti, Roberto Abbado, Ivor Bolton, Kazushi Ono, Vladimir Jurowski, Yakov Kreizberg, Ulf Schirmer and Eiji Oue. In the 2005/2006 season, Herbert Blomstedt and Krzysztof Penderecki made their Verdi debuts, and in 2006/2007 Leonard Slatkin, Vladimir Fedoseyev, and Wayne Marshall.The orchestra has also collaborated with soloists such as Martha Argerich, Mstislav Rostropovich, Vadim Repin, Lynn Harrell, Viktoria Mullova, Han-Na Chang, Sarah Chang, Midori, Alexander Kobrin, Jean-Yves Thibaudet, Nelson Freire, Salvatore Accardo, Mario Brunello, Alexander Toradze, Hilary Hahn, and Radovan Vlatkovic.
