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.

Spoken parts of the performance are in Italian; a basic understanding of the language is adviced.

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.

The plot

A ball is a belly, a head, an animal body. For play it is constantly transformed, and in between jokes, it is even possible for it to become Falstaff! Inspired by Giuseppe Verdi’s masterpiece, this very early childhood show explores play as a universal language, transporting young spectators to an enchanted universe where anything is possible. A poetic adventure that stimulates the imagination and celebrates fantasy.

Questo è uno spettacolo per i gruppi scolastici.

Spoken parts of the performance are in Italian; a basic understanding of the language is adviced. 

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.

The project

Workshop practical info

The workshop is recommended from the fifth to the eighth month of pregnancy, when it has been scientifically proven that the fetus begins to perceive and react to sounds coming from outside. Reproducing the sounds perceived during gestation, especially the voices of the parents, after birth, produces relaxing effects, intensifies the sound bond with the baby, and promotes vocal identification.

About

This event is in Italian.

Tickets (3 euros) available at the box-office and online.

You can access the Sala Onu through the stairs located in the stage door area (on the right side of the main entrance, close to Via Pignatelli Aragona). An accessible pathway, with no steps and the elevator, is also available (ask the staff for guidance).
