| Abstract: | ‘MUSIC BY CARAVAGGIO’, proclaimed narrator Stephen Oliver with actorly gravitas, his voice filling the length of the Cardinal’s Hall. Wait, what? Michelangelo Merisi da Caravaggio (1571–1610), celebrated painter of the Italian Baroque and not the least of Malta’s tourist attractions, also composed music?! Well, not literally. With these words the curtain was lifted on an innovatively curated concert advertised under the title ‘Music Painted by Caravaggio’. I don’t know whether this elision of the word ‘painted’ was deliberate, but the jarring metaphorical slippage somehow made the point: Caravaggio was the author of this concert programme. |
