This marks not only the culmination of the season but also highlights the legacy of 'La Corrida', which has entertained Italian audiences for decades. Celebrated as the father of all talent shows, it began its influential run back in the 1950s, originally created by the late, great Corrado and his brother Riccardo Mantoni.
On Wednesday, December 25, 2024, Amadeus will guide viewers through this thrilling spectacle on the NOVE channel, also available for streaming on platforms including Discovery+. This year, the finale promises a diverse array of performances, featuring winners from previous episodes and some of the most flamboyant artists who vied for the coveted 'Campanaccio d’Oro'.
Nino Frassica, returning once again as the charismatic 'Capopopolo', is poised to entertain and enliven the atmosphere. He will play a pivotal role, not merely as a host but as someone who might revive competitors previously eliminated, offering them another shot at glory before the final winner is announced.
According to reports from Today.it, the audience will play a significant part, equipped with whistles and pots, their cheers or boos serving as judgment on the performances. “Il pubblico, munito di fischietti e pentole, avrà come sempre il compito di decretare i vincitori con applausi o rumorosi 'buuu',” notes the outlet, highlighting the interactive nature of the finale.
The evening will feature the return of notable finalists such as Federica Uliano, known for her heartfelt rendition of “Nothing Compares 2 U”, and Vincenzo Crapa, whose musical talents have captivated many. Not to be overshadowed, the show will also welcome eccentric acts, including Peppe da Avellino, who entertains with animal impressions, and Vincenzo, the singing Batman, delivering renditions of Queen classics.
Throughout the night, comedic acts will add levity to the competition. Moments of hilarity will arise from quirky performances, including Antonio the sound artist and Andrea the transformer. The blend of humor and talent is intended to showcase the multifaceted nature of entertainment, proving once again the idea behind 'La Corrida'— to celebrate the absurd and the extraordinary.
With the finale, the anticipation builds not just for the crowning of the new champion but also to reflect on the season filled with passion and sincerity. “Due le parole d’ordine: divertimento e autoironia,” summarizes the essence of the evening, emphasizing both the humor and humility of the participants.
Concluding the event, the crowd will erupt with excitement as Amadeus announces the overall winner of the season, offering the ultimate prize of the 'Campanaccio d’Oro'.
