Despite being among the classics of world theater, especially in the context of comedy, Goldoni (Venice, 1707 – Paris, 1793) never received due attention in Brazil by the editorial market. There are not many Brazilian publications of his vast production, except Harlequin, two master server, translated by Millôr Fernandes, which attracted the interest of readers and artists of different generations, having been assembled in Rio and São Paulo several times with great success. Few other parts, translated to Brazilian assemblies in the last decades, have not been published or are already sold out.
The anthology Carlo Goldoni that will integrate the collection “authors”, from Perspectiva publisher, specializing in theatrical publications, come fill this gap. The selection gives preference to the most significant titles in Goldoni's artistic career as a company director in dialogue with audiences, actors and especially actresses of his time; and aims to offer an unprecedented repertoire of classic comedies to the Brazilian theater class and contemporary readers.
The Carlo Goldoni reading cycle is an achievement of Italian Institute of Culture (IIC-Rio) e do Aesthetics and Politics Laboratory. Support and partnerships: State Theater Technical School Martins Pena, School of Culture and Oficina Social de Teatro (OST).
