The plot
The legend of Tristan and Isolde, one of the most romantic stories of the Middle Ages, is very old: it tells the adventures of a knight and a princess who fall in love thanks to a magic elixir. Wagner composed the opera based on Goffredo di Strasburgo’s text and staged it in 1865. It is still considered one of the masterpieces of all time. The version that will be performed, while maintaining the essential dramaturgical and musical lines intact, is adapted in such a way as to exalt the magical and symbolic fairy-tale aspects of the story, which has at its centre important themes linked to the imaginary and ideal horizon of the world of chivalry, such as the search for love, the relationship between public morality and private morality, sin and fidelity.

The plot
In 1600s Spain, a man fascinated by epic tales of chivalry and scornful of danger, imagines himself to be the knight Don Quixote committed, along with his squire Sancho Panza, to protect the people from injustice… starting from this incipit, author Miguel de Cervantes (played by Lollo Franco) will tell a new adventure of his characters, to the music of the 1746 intermezzo by Giovanni Battista Martini.

The plot
What a big mountain of boxes! So many locks, laces and padlocks… what could possibly be hidden back there? One foot… two hands… three musical notes… one eye… two lips… three riddles to be solved by dawn. Are you in there, Turandot? Calaf is looking for you! Are you sure you won’t come out? Look at your wings. Your cocoon is just a moment, a before, which will become a butterfly afterwards. Don’t be afraid!
Performances from Tue to Fri are events for school groups.
Sat performances are for 3-5 years-old children with their families.

The plot
An interactive dance performance in which the young public actively collaborates in the creation of the show, thanks to the use of colours and abstract painting. The show is born from the interaction between children and dancers, each time producing a unique and unrepeatable result. A work in progress, light, magical but above all experimental.
The children, inspired by the musical pieces, will see the colours they have chosen come to life through the bodies of the dancers and the abstract strokes drawn by them in real time on the canvas interpreted by a dance inspired by their emotional trajectories. The memory will be nourished by the return to the class of the canvas produced, a work of art “signed” by the children and the Corps de Ballet of the Teatro Massimo, in memory of the sensory journey experienced together.
Performances from Tue to Fri are events for school groups.
In case seats are available to the general audience, they will be on sale on the same day of performance at the box-office.
Saturday performances are open to all.-
