As every year in autumn, Ravenna Festival presents the AUTUMN TRILOGY.
From October 31st to November 6th, the Trilogy celebrates its first ten years with the traditional formula that has made it one of the most awaited events of the Festival.
Night after night, the stage of the Alighieri Theatre will host three different plays, making it a real hotbed of opera.
This year’s protagonist is the trilogy par excellence, in the heart of all opera enthusiasts: Le Nozze di Figaro, Don Giovanni and Così fan tutte, played by Orchestra Cherubini and respectively conducted by Giovanni Conti, Erina Yashima and Tais Conte Renzetti.
Results of one of the happiest encounters in the history of musical theatre, Mozart’s and Da Ponte’s masterpieces will be presented on the stage of the Alighieri Theatre thanks to a project that combines the protagonists of the Festival – the orchestra named after Luigi Cherubini and the young conductors who studied at Riccardo Muti’s academy – with two of Europe’s most ancient theatres, the Swedish Drottingholms Slottsteater and Opéra Royal de Versailles, in the productions directed by Ivan Alexandre.
