Six shows, with two regional exclusives, a world premiere and great names of the Italian theatre such as Gabriele Lavia, Antonio Latella, Sonia Bergamasco, Vinicio Marchioni, Emilio Solfrizzi, Leonardo Lidi, just to mention some of them. This is a summary of the programme of the 2021-2022 Prose Season, presented at the Teatro Nuovo Gian Carlo Menotti by the mayor Andrea Sisti, together with the councillor Danilo Chiodetti, the director and the head of programming of the Teatro Stabile dell’Umbria Nino Marino and Bianca Maria Ragni.

“Together with the Teatro Stabile dell’Umbria,” explained Councillor Chiodetti, “we have tried to prepare a programme characterised by the great names of Italian theatre and great authors to allow the public to fully experience the joy of the return. As always, there are the great productions of the Teatro Stabile dell’Umbria, but also the most important productions of the national scene, and dance.

The public’s relationship with the Prose Season in Spoleto has grown exponentially over the last few years, I believe since the time of one of my most illustrious predecessors, to over 500 subscribers in the last two editions”.

 

A season that marks the return of the public to the theatre, though with all the precautions linked to the continuing health emergency.

“Theatre plays a cultural and, above all, a social role in this period, because it allows us to overcome isolation and return to sociality – said director Nino Marino – Thanks to the work done together with the development management, we can now return to the Teatro Nuovo Gian Carlo Menotti, a real secular temple, with an important and quality theatre season. I hope that this return to the theatre will be a harbinger of positive things”.

A return made possible also thanks to the commitment of the Teatro Stabile dell’Umbria. “I would like to thank you because you have helped us to build this season at a time when Spoleto did not have the financial means to cover all the costs,” said Mayor Sisti. “Culture is an instrument of enhancement and emancipation and it will certainly be our duty to work and give greater substance to what is a historic value for our city.

Another very important aspect that I am particularly keen on concerns the involvement of students, who in recent years have responded by taking part in numerous shows,” added the mayor. I would like to thank the schools for this, because we must be able to overcome this gap that is sometimes complained of between the city of culture, the festival and the citizens. We want to build a strong and constant link between schools and the theatre, and Danilo Chiodetti and Luigina Renzi, who are the two councillors of reference, will work in this direction”.
