AMAHL AND THE NIGHT VISITORS
screening of the one-act opera by G. C. Menotti directed by Thomas Schippers
Special event organized by the Festival Foundation
The appointment is free of charge but reservation is required (345 3982114).
“During the 1950s, the opera represented a much-loved Christmas television tradition. Broadcast live every year since its first performance in 1951, Amahl was the first work commissioned for television and the first one to exploit the full potential of the new medium. With a libretto (in English) of remarkable lyrical beauty, written by the composer himself, and a cast of magnificent actors and singers, Amahl perfectly achieved the goal of the founders of the NBC Opera Theatre, which was to ‘bring authenticity and realism to opera’. Tailor-made by Menotti for an audience of children, this work has been for many an enlightening introduction to the world of opera as a musical theatre. It remains over time an enchanting experience, very evocative, and finally, deeply moving”.
A post-film debate with mayor Umberto De Augustinis and the Festival artistic director Giorgio Ferrara is foreseen.

As in past years, Spoleto’s Department of Culture organizes The fun before the theatre – as the children called it last year – the project of theatrical mediation held by the Cultural Association Il Teodelapio in the person of Lorella Natalizi, teacher of theatre for children.
The meetings are linked to La Domenica dei Sogni family theatre festival and will be held on the Saturdays preceding the Sunday shows, at 11 a.m. at the Municipal Library.
Through an image, a piece of text or a theatre play, the main theme of each show will be explored: friendship, relationship, diversity, insecurities, the desire for poetry.
Sorry, this entry is only available in Italiano.
Works from Shakespeare, Ibsen, De Filippo, Bulgakov and Mamet. Actors such as Umberto Orsini, Lunetta Savino, Luca Barbareschi, Gianfelice Imparato, Michele Riondino. Dance shows inspired by Gershwin and Shubert, the Bible revisited in a comic way by the talented Oblivion youtubers, one of the most famous musicals of all time: these are the eight shows of Spoleto’s 2018/2019 Theatre Season. All of them, except for one at Teatro Caio Melisso, will be staged at Teatro Nuovo “Gian Carlo Menotti”.

This is a true, or almost true, story that could take place anywhere, in any city of the world. It is the story of a group of young people and of an abandoned and uncultivated green space, the only one left among buildings and concrete, the last meeting point of the children of the district. But one day that space is taken away from them to build a large gambling center owned by the local boss who dominates the entire city. From here, the story develops with their parents and LIBERA association coming to support the children’s action.

FAUNA 2019
First Study Day on the Italian Wildlife at Spoleto as part of the project The Ragni Collection as a tool for scientific research and historical memory of the Spoleto and Umbrian natural heritage
Organized by Comune di Spoleto, University of Perugia, Ragni family, Hyla Naturalistic Studio, WildUmbria Association and co-funded by the Cassa di Risparmio Spoleto Foundation.
The event is organized by the City of Spoleto in collaboration with the Ragni Family, the Consorzio Bonifica Umbra, the Academy of the Ottusi and will be attended by scholars, researchers and representatives of public, regional and national scientific institutions.
A year after his death, even in this way we want to pay tribute to Bernardino Ragni (Spoleto 1946-2018) who spent his life studying and learning about wildlife. A passion born as a boy that was then transferred to his work as a professor at the University of Perugia in order to protect and maintain the animal species and the environment in which they live.
Bernardino Ragni, former researcher of animal biology and professor of environmental zoology and fauna management at the University of Perugia, was an expert in biology and conservation of tetrapods, sustainable use and conservation of living natural resources, landscape and territory. Author and co-author of over 160 scientific and specialist publications, he was a member of the Species Survival Commission and of the IUCN’s Cat Specialist Group, The World Conservation Union, and founder of the Society of Environmental Biology.
