Like every year in autumn, Ravenna Festival presents the AUTUMN TRILOGY at the Dante Alighieri Theatre.
The Trilogy goes on stage from 16th to 22nd December, with the formula that has made it one of the most anticipated events of the Festival. Night after night, the Dante Alighieri Theatre will host Norma and Nabucco – two of the most significant Italian operas – and an exclusive gala concert dedicated to Giuseppe Verdi.
The exceptional news of this year's edition is the presence of Riccardo Muti conducting all the concerts, with a stage completely dedicated to music and singing, to the bare interpretation, to an execution "in concert form".
