In 1996, Paul Horn and Christopher Hedge gathered inside a 200-year-old opera house in Rieti, Italy, for a singular evening of music and image.
Horn believed that space itself was an instrument. In Rieti, the architecture became part of the performance, breath and tone unfolding within centuries-old walls.
The evening was shaped visually by projection artist Nancy Lytle and her Multi-Image vision, and captured in a film by director Tony Papa.
For many years, the recording of that night existed only in an archive. The original materials have now been carefully restored, preserving both the intimacy of the performance and the resonance of the space.
Inside Italy stands as a document of a rare convergence — music, architecture, and image in balance.
