The Mah\u0101bh\u0101rata<\/em> concert by Riccardo Nova traces the story of the eponymous Indian epic. With over 100,000 verses, the Mah\u0101bh\u0101rata<\/em> is one of the longest poems in the world and tells the story of the conflict between two rival families. The vast epic recounts the dominion over the kingdom of Kurukshetra and the famous Battle of Kurukshetra, in which nearly all the warriors from both sides were killed. However, the Mah\u0101bh\u0101rata<\/em> also contains numerous subplots that address themes such as religion, ethics, philosophy, and spirituality. The profound reflection on Hinduism forms the foundation from which the epic offers a unique perspective on human existence and its myriad contradictory facets.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Riccardo Nova\u2019s Mah\u0101bh\u0101rata<\/em> (Mantras, Fights and Threnody) is the first act of a trilogy and was premiered in 2022 at the Philharmonie Essen with soloists Varijashree Venugopal, Guru Prasanna, and B.C. Manjunath, conducted by Peter Rundel. This year, the concert makes its Italian debut at the prestigious Maggio Musicale Fiorentino<\/em>, one of the most modern and cutting-edge venues in Europe for opera and symphonic music.<\/p>\n
