The annual summer opera festival in Macerata celebrated its centennial season in 2021 with two special Verdi operas. The 2021 edition was inaugurated with the same opera chosen in 1921 by Count Pier Alberto Conti for the love of the soprano Francisca Solari (who was the protagonist). In this way, the Sferisterio, formerly a stadium for an ancient ball game, was turned into a venue for opera performances. It will actually be a double celebration with a modern staging by Valentina Carrasco: AIDA, one of the most loved operas, premiered in Cairo in 1871, so this will mark its 150th anniversary.

LA TRAVIATA is the most representative and iconic production of the last thirty years. La traviata“of the mirrors” conceived in 1992, and then restaged seven more times before 2018, now in a new version by Henning Brockhaus and Josef Svoboda with new costumes will return for the 100th anniversary of the festival. An opera festival of a very special kind.

He had at once seen in it the possibility of an operatic theme and the Coronation provided(...)
