In a creative and stimulating atmosphere, you will have the opportunity to work on four operas in four weeks, each characterized by an original interpretation that opens new perspectives on opera and theater through play and singing. This year, a title by Rossini is added, La Cenerentola, the fairy tale of fairy tales, with unpredictable twists and a wiser Cinderella than ever. Singing and music will be languages to discover to get in touch with the ancient stories of Lucia, Cardenio, Noah, and Angelina, through music and theater. Each week ends with the production of an opera, a show in which each participant will have an important role and in which every stage element will have been created in dedicated sessions. The titles: 1. Il furioso all'isola di Santo Domingo, by Gaetano Donizetti A semi-serious reinterpretation of Donizetti's opera, focused on the fear of diversity. The opera becomes a whirlwind of misunderstandings and misconceptions that will transform the staging into a tragicomic game, full of surprises and reflections on our relationship with others. 2. Lucia di Lammermoor, by Gaetano Donizetti A masterpiece that we will explore as a powerful metaphor for the fight against bullying and violence on one's identity. Lucia becomes a heroine who represents all of us when we find ourselves defending our choices in a world that often tramples them. An encounter between poignant music and a pop aesthetic to tell a timeless story. 3. Diluvio Universale, by Gaetano Donizetti In this reinterpretation, the dark atmosphere of Donizetti's opera is transformed
