When the programme was approved by the Sferisterio BoD, a decision was also made by the Board to extend the contract for Barbara Minghetti (Artistic Director) and Francesco Lanzillotta (Music Director) until 2021.<\/p>\n<p><em>Tosca<\/em> is the work that brought <strong>Puccini<\/strong> and his two favourite librettists right into the Twentieth century, with a tragic triangle of love, power and freedom that grips all characters, both positive and negative, and sees them defeated by fate soon after the tenor sings the famous aria &#8220;E lucevan le stelle&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>Those notes will resound all the more perfectly under the Sferisterio sky, where Tosca returns after 6 years. <strong><em>Don Giovanni<\/em><\/strong>, written in 1787, led the pair<strong> Mozart-Da Ponte<\/strong> to achieve unprecedented results that were pivotal for opera in the years to come. In this work, love, cynicism, rationality and boldness blend into a plot full of metaphors and enriched by timeless melodies, such as \u201cMadamina, il catalogo \u00e8 questo\u201d and \u201cL\u00e0 ci darem la mano\u201d. <em>Don Giovanni<\/em> was last seen in Macerata in 1991, staged at the Lauro Rossi theatre.<\/p>\n<p><strong><em>Il trovatore<\/em><\/strong> was written in 1853, with a libretto by Salvatore Cammarano. It belongs to Verdi&#8217;s so-called popular trilogy and it is the epitome of opera Romanticism. Last staged at the Sferisterio in 2016, it offers a mixture of love, mystery and obscurity, moving from the intimate notes of &#8220;Tacea la notte placida&#8221; to the frenzy of &#8220;Di quella pira l&#8217;orrendo foco&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>Ticket prices remain unchanged for 2020. The box office will start taking reservations shortly.&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&nbsp; From 17 July to 9 August, 2020, the Sferisterio stage will host Tosca, Don Giovanni and Il trovatore.
