Il Canto di Natale è uno dei racconti più celebri di Dickens e uno dei più famosi dedicati a quella che è la ricorrenza dei buoni sentimenti per eccellenza...

Death has come twice to Ravenbank, a remote community in England’s Lake District, each time on Halloween. Just before the First World War, a young woman’s corpse was found, with a makeshift shroud frozen to her battered face. Her ghost - the Faceless Woman - is said to walk through Ravenbank on Halloween. Five years ago, another woman, Shenagh Moss, was murdered, and again her face was covered to hide her injuries.

Ebenezer Scrooge, ricco uomo d’affari, avaro ed egoista, odia tutte le festività, specialmente il Natale. Il fantasma del suo ex-socio, gli preannuncia la visita di tre spiriti, quello del Natale Passato, quello del Natale Presente e, infine, quello del Natale Futuro. I tre spettri accompagnano Scrooge in un viaggio nel tempo - ieri, oggi e domani - che sarà per il protagonista un’occasione di riflessione sul senso della vita e sull’importanza degli affetti.

>"Al diavolo il Natale con tutta l'allegria! O che altro è il Natale se non un giorno di scadenze quando non si hanno soldi; un giorno in cui ci si ritrova più vecchi di un anno e nemmeno di un'ora più ricchi; un giorno di chiusura di bilancio che ci dà, dopo dodici mesi, la bella soddisfazione di non trovare una sola partita all'attivo? Se potessi fare a modo mio, ogni idiota che se ne va in giro con questo "allegro Natale" in bocca, dovrebbe essere bollito nella propria pentola e sotterrato con uno stecco di agrifoglio nel cuore. Sì, proprio!"

La storia dell’avaro Scrooge, visitato dagli spiriti, è stata riproposta più volte in rappresentazioni teatrali e cinematografiche, ma la sua versione originale, così come uscita dalla penna di uno dei più grandi romanzieri della storia, è insuperata. Un pezzo di bravura, e allo stesso tempo il manifesto della visione della vita di Dickens, fa magicamente sorgere dalle sue pagine lo spirito del Natale, con colori, suoni, profumi, e buoni sentimenti. Musiche tradizionali arrangiate da Ivan Genesio.
