An extraordinary concert season complemented by conferences, readings, music theatre shows, chamber and orchestral concerts, as well as activities for children. A new, revolutionary approach to opera that stimulates an innovatory attitude towards music, the art that turned our fellow citizen into a great composer.
The first event not to be missed is the Donizetti night on 20 June.Not just one, but two exceptional events: “Elisir d’amore Off” – a pocket version “for people of all ages” of the classic opera, performed by Francesco Micheli and Donizetti Opera Ensemble – and “Donizetti Alive”, a new kind of opera intended for an itinerant audience, that will be performed in the Domus Magna and will be repeated once a month.
Donizetti Pride for Expo lasts six months and is a preview of the opera season starting in October, as always, with a Donizetti work, Don Pasquale (15 and 17 October at Teatro Donizetti).
The opera season programme is composed of three sections: DoReMix. “Do” stands for “Donizetti opera”; “Re” stands for “Repertoire”, with timeless classics; and “Mix” stands for “Miscellany”, a combination of events that will reinterpret opera under new forms of expression.
