On October 3, 2025, the Teatro Goldoni will host OTTANTA. Buon Compleanno Ivan, a special concert by Filippo Graziani dedicated to celebrating what would have been his father Ivan Graziani’s 80th birthday. Conceived as a traveling birthday party filled with music, memories, and surprises, the event promises an evening rich in emotion and festivity.
For more than a decade, Filippo Graziani has carried forward his father’s legacy with charisma and artistic vision. His performances are not mere tributes, but fresh interpretations that highlight the timeless power of Ivan’s songwriting. By creating new arrangements that respect and enrich the originals, Filippo builds a bridge between generations, allowing both longtime admirers and new audiences to rediscover the singer-songwriter’s brilliance.
The concert program will guide the audience through Ivan Graziani’s most famous hits, while also unveiling a selection of more intimate and lesser-known songs particularly cherished by Filippo. This dual journey offers a complete portrait: the public figure who marked Italian music history and the private artist whose sensitivity continues to inspire.
On stage, Filippo will be joined by an outstanding ensemble: Tommy Graziani (drums), Francesco Cardelli (bass), Lorenzo Fornabaio (guitar), Stefano Zambardino (keyboards), and Marco Benz Gentile (violin). Together, they will recreate the unique atmosphere of Ivan’s music while adding new colors and textures.
Organized in collaboration with the Teatro Stabile del Veneto and Veneto Jazz, this concert is not just a performance but a heartfelt celebration of an extraordinary artist’s enduring legacy.
