Vivaldi's music, a self-determined life, and great cinema in Zella-Mehlis
On Wednesday, December 9, 2026, the Provincial Culture Studio Cinema in Ruppbergpassage invites you to a special cinema evening. The film Vivaldi and Me will be shown, a historical drama about music, social boundaries, and the brave journey of a young violinist. A small snack and drinks will be provided.
A story from baroque Venice
The film takes you to 18th century Venice. The focus is on Cecilia, played by Tecla Insolia, who grows up in the Ospedale della Pietà. The institution takes in orphaned girls and provides them with musical education. The orchestra soon enjoys an excellent reputation, but Cecilia remains hidden behind a mask during performances and is not to be perceived as an independent personality.
Music as a path to freedom
The arrival of a new teacher changes Cecilia's life. Antonio Vivaldi, portrayed by Michele Riondino, encourages her to forge her own path. Between strict societal rules, the prospect of an arranged marriage, and the power of music, an urgent drama about female self-determination unfolds.
Atmospheric cinema with musical depth
Vivaldi and Me combines historical fiction with the music of Antonio Vivaldi, the creator of the famous Four Seasons. Director Damiano Michieletto, known as a theater and opera director, transfers his experience with musical staging to his feature film debut. The baroque backdrop of Venice and the musical dramaturgy create an intense event experience for film lovers and classical music enthusiasts.
The film is based on the historical novel Stabat Mater by the Venetian author Tiziano Scarpa. The work was awarded the Italian literary prize Premio Strega. The event caters to a culturally interested audience and combines sophisticated arthouse cinema with a sociable cinema evening.
