mario nanni‘s ‘la luce della musica’ is a visual and musical experience, projected onto the façade of milan’s opera teatro alla scala. the piece is a tribute to the opera ‘carmen’ by georges bizet, which opens the opera season at la scala. nanni has used video projections and light to highlight and compliment the architecture of giuseppe piermarini.
the project is in partnership with viabizzuno and is a part of milan’s international festival of lights which runs until january 10th, 2010.
