At the bottom of the blues there is jazz.
Free of patterns, free of places: jazz is not just a musical genre, but a way of thinking about art.
The best of international jazz is coming home.
Bergamo Jazz Festival – April 6, 1952, Donizetti Theater, Bergamo
A special guest for an evening out of the box. On Sunday, April 6, 1952, the Donizetti Theater hosted one of the greatest international jazz musicians-John Birks “Dizzy” Gillespie, one of the inventors of bepop and modern jazz. It was a show to which the audience of the Donizetti, temple of classical music, was not accustomed; nevertheless, apart from a small number of purists who left the hall prematurely, the spectators were enthusiastic and the applause resounded thunderously.

Understage – Renovation and refurbishment of equipment.
Beneath your feet, where the eye cannot reach, comes alive a world of cables, of cramped spaces, of dim lights and working gears, of races, of men stooped in often uncomfortable positions who, in silence and obscurity, contribute to the perfect success of the show. The renovation to which the understage was subjected stems from the desire to ensure greater ease, effectiveness and efficiency for all these operations that, though unseen, are an integral part of every performance.
