Rome, September 14 (LaPresse) – Francesca Michielin was the star of the closing ceremony of the 83rd Venice International Film Festival, where on Saturday, September 12, in the Sala Grande of the Palazzo del Cinema, she performed “It’s Oh So Quiet,” a 1951 song originally performed by Betty Hutton and made famous by Björk’s version. A highly theatrical performance for a song that recounts the shock and madness of falling in love, through sudden changes of pace and an almost cinematic dimension. It was a special moment that comes during a busy period for Francesca, now nearing the end of her Strega Comanda Summer Tour, which will conclude with the final two dates: on September 22 in Rende (CS) @ Nuova Intesa Settembre Rendese and on September 29 in Decimomannu (CA) for the DCM Music Festival. With the live summer now behind us, the theatrical dimension of the performance at the Biennale anticipates that of the 2026 Theatre Tour, which will bring Francesca to Italy’s major stages starting in November. The tour will kick off on November 8th in Trento at the Auditorium Santa Chiara, then continue to Venice at the Teatro Malibran on November 11th, Turin at the Teatro Colosseo on November 13th, Ancona at the Teatro delle Muse on November 15th, Florence at the Teatro Verdi on November 16th, Bari at the Teatro Petruzzelli on November 20th, Bologna at the Europauditorium on November 22nd, Trieste at the Teatro Rossetti on November 23rd, Padua at the Gran Teatro Geox on November 25th, Rome at the Teatro Conciliazione on November 28th, Milan at the Teatro Arcimboldi on December 1st, and Naples at the Teatro Augusteo on December 3rd.
