The presentation of the new 2025-2026 season of operas, ballets and concerts took place in the enchanting Art Nouveau hall of Villa Igiea, Rocco Forte Hotel, a partner of the Foundation.
Souls in Limbo, Beyond Borders is the title and the invisible thread that runs through the entire season, weaving an underground plot that unites works and ballets, eras and styles, tradition and vision. It is the plot of characters suspended on the brink of something: an impossible love, a fatal choice, an inner transformation.
The emotional focus of the season is on the female protagonists: from Zemfira to Nedda, from Gilda to Dido, from Aida to Amneris, to Semiramide.
The season explores the dramatic power of their stories, often marked by exclusion, strength and sacrifice, and does so in dialogue with the great issues of our time, such as the fight against gender-based violence and for the rights of children and adolescents.
