In Nono’s words, Prometeo is “a tragedy composed of sounds, with the complicity of a space”. A work intended solely as an act of listening revolutionising the space, conceived by the Venetian composer in an almost intimate relationship with his city and destined to remain in the history of music, not only as the endpoint of lifelong research, but as an authentic endeavour that in addition to Nono himself, involved great artists, designers, philosophers and musicians, relying on the most impressive and advanced technological complex of the time.
