The Starlight Italians Nightwish project takes shape in September 2018, slowly reaching the perfect "square" with the inclusion in the staff of musicians of undoubted value and crystalline technique, essential qualities given the exceptional nature of the music proposed. The symphonic-metal genre is characterized by the union of orchestral-classical symphonic music with heavy metal to which is added the lyrical voice typical of the opera. Starlight Italians Nightwish is a project that gives life to live concerts and theatrical performances of great acoustic and visual impact, replicating the evocative atmospheres evoked by the Finnish band NIGHTWISH to which it is inspired. The show is divided into 90/105 minutes offering the most famous songs from the Nightwish discography. It is not just a Symphonic metal concert, but it can certainly be defined as a MUSICAL, given that the participation on stage of dance choreographies and an impressive multimedia support of video stories that "tell" the songs performed is expected, and also, where the location and budgets allow it, the involvement of a small symphony orchestra. Starlight Italians Nightwish also have their own record production of songs composed with the help of various musicians / composers who have followed one another over time or who are currently part of the project. While always remaining within the stylistic canons of Symphonic Metal, important elements of this sound have been added or modified in the songs of its own production, creating an excellent musical combination of three styles with particular characteristics: heavy metal music, symphonic arrangements, voice female lyric, and each expresses the musical "vision" of the genre in the interpretation of the musicians of that particular moment.
HIGHWAY TO THE DREAM The name of the show Starlight Italians Nightwish is defining a seal, a real brand on this type of sound: the style is the main feature, while the elegance in the composition and the subtle baroque style are combined with remarkable neoclassical nuances, bringing euphony and pathos to the highest levels. The vocal parts performed by an absolutely unique voice, are expertly mixed with a sharp but never excessive guitar work that creates situations of euphonic / groove / power alternation.
