Aterballetto then arrives in the Romanian capital for the final two performances on 24 and 25 June 2026.

“I, Ennio Morricone, am dead,” the composer wrote before taking his leave. His music, however, cannot die. And this is how creators and artists always leave us without truly leaving us, and how memory takes care of keeping them alive, of keeping them safe. Notte Morricone is my gift, a devoted tribute to the beauty he gave to the world.
Notte Morricone unfolds in the twilight of an ordinary night in the life of a creator, who, alone and dazed before his sheets of paper, jots down notes and imagines melodies for films that do not yet exist, bringing stories back to life in the rarefied air of his room.”
— Marcos Morau, Director and Choreographer

“It is impossible to describe Notte Morricone, a masterful piece that reaches the audience in waves, embraces them with emotional surges, and captures them in the memory of timeless melodies that have long outlived the images that first gave rise to them. Equally enchanting is the finely chiselled and ever-poetic choreography, composed with obsessive attention to detail: legs and necks seem jointless, bending and snapping rhythmically like metronomes.”
— Maria Luisa Buzzi, Danza&Danza
