On 15 June, the Daughters of St. Paul celebrated the birthday of their Institute by hosting a preview of their latest rock musical, The Messiah, performed in the large square facing the Queen of Apostles Basilica, Rome. The Province’s newest musical production, which closes the trilogy on Jesus of Nazareth, presents the main stages of the public life of Jesus, from his baptism in the Jordan to his last supper with his apostles. The evening performance reunited in Rome the main actors of the drama with the theater company that is staging it. Present for the occasion were Daniele Ricci (the author of the musical), Gregorio Puccio (its artistic director) and Livia Sabatti, fsp, who is in charge of the audiovisual sector of FSP Productions, Italy.
On stage, singers lending their voices to the personages in the drama alternated with actor Angelo Blasetti, who read different excerpts from the script, and the Arena Artis dancers from Chioggia, who offered the audience a preview of their performance in the musical.
This latest FSP initiative is a new way of preaching the Good News to the whole world, using the modern instruments of communication.
