Francesco Sarcina embittered, his rock opera will no longer be made
Last November we wrote: “Immenmente Giulia” is a musical that tells the life, connections and inner transformations of youth of an era at the turn of the new millennium, 1999-2000; will be staged at the Teatro Nazionale in Milan from 14 to 22 March 2026.
Just over a month later, we have to report that the rock opera written by the frontman of The Vibrations Francesco Sarcina will not be staged, the show was canceled due to poor advance ticket sales.
Sarcina himself announced it, very disappointed, sorry and embittered, in a video published on his Instagram channel. “This show won’t happen… it didn’t sell enough tickets even though the promotion hadn’t started. This makes me understand that today only twenty days are enough to decree the end of a project and kill the work of more than twenty people.”
The musical “Immensely Giulia” was inspired by “Dedicated to you”the best-known song of The Vibrations published in 2003. Giulia Tagliapietra, to whom the song was dedicatedwas an ex-girlfriend of Sarcina who passed away in May 2024 after a long illness at the age of 46. You can see it in the video of the song.
