At the Teatro Comunale of Ferrara you will find several seasons and a very rich calendar of events divided between prose, opera and ballet, concerts and contemporary dance. 

For Prose there are 18 titles on the bill from October until May 2023, including great classics, international authors and new dramas. 

In January, the prose season opened with the tenderness and romanticism of ‘Our Souls by Night’ based on the novel of the same name by Kent Haruf.

Tuesday 31 January brings an unmissable event featuring Teresa Mannino on stage again with her show ‘Il giaguaro mi guarda storto’. A show whose leitmotif is desire, a vital astonishment that ignites dreams, inflames hearts, and frees movement.
From 3 to 5 February comes Pirandello's ‘Il berretto a sonagli’, with Gabriele Lavia.  A work that revolves around life, which seems to be a "nothingness" crowded with appearances, shadows that stir in pain and madness. Only "the characters" are real and alive.

On 10 February, the show ‘Il Duce delinquente’ with Moni Ovadia and Aldo Cazzullo. An occasion to understand why we should be ashamed of fascism and proud of the resistance fighters who fought it. 
This is followed on 12 February by ‘Scorrettissimo Me - per un futuro immenso repertorio’ by and with Paolo Rossi: more than a performance, it is an event that fits into any venue that wants to host the 'non-repeat', even the theater proper.

To blow your mind, 'Solo' by and with Arturo Brachetti arrives on 18 February. A memory and emotion playhouse, seven rooms in which more than 60 characters come to life thanks to the magic of Arturo Brachetti, master of the unpredictable.
From 24 to 26 February, a great classic by Henrik Ibsen: 'Spettri' is one of the author's most significant plays, a bourgeois drama in which incest, madness, and terrible truths after years of lies are mixed together.

On 1 March comes 'Extralishow- una storia punk ai confini della balera' with Extraliscio and Davide Toffolo. A total show of music, words, and live drawing developed from an idea by Elisabetta Sgarbi.
Rocking the theatre on 24, 25, and 26 March is 'Balasso fa Ruzante' by and with Nino Balasso. A show made up of lexical choices that are political and polemical.

From 31 March to 2 April, Michele Placido arrives in the role of Don Marzio in Carlo Goldoni's 'La bottega del caffé'. A choral comedy, through which the author sketches a multifaceted social and human fresco.

In the Opera and Ballet season, the programme opened on Saturday 7 January with Swan Lake performed by the Russian Classical Ballet.

Teatro Comunale di Ferrara

On 20 and 22 January the theatre hosts Manon Lescaut an unmissable opera with music by Giacomo Puccini with a libretto based on the novel Histoire du Chevalier Des Grieux et de Manon Lescaut by François-Antoine Prévost. 
The season continues with Don Quixote brought to the stage, on 3 and 4 March, by the ArrondiArt Ukrainian Classical Ballet company, which unites dancers from Ukraine's most important theaters.

Following the success of last season's Farnace, Vivaldi's music returns to the Comunale di Ferrara with Catone in Utica: an opera by Antonio Vivaldi on a libretto by Pietro Metastasio, staged on 17 and 19 March. 
The March programme closes with the magic and enchantment of The Wizard of Oz staged on 29 March by the Romanov Arena company. The ingenious fairy tale of The Wizard of Oz, based on the book by L. Frank Baum, is presented in this astonishing family show in an entirely original scenic key: the language of the musical and contemporary circus come together in a new dimension.

Organized by the Ferrara Musica Association, the 2022-2023 Concert Season features several appointments with outstanding artists and the best Italian and international orchestras, led by great conductors. There will be symphonic cand chamber concerts, with the addition of two exceptional events at Palazzo Diamanti, linked to the history and culture of Ferrara. The contents range from ancient to contemporary music, with a special focus on Girolamo Frescobaldi and Claude Debussy, to whom two in-depth focuses are dedicated.

Opening the 2023 Concert Season on 10 January is Alexander Romanovsky and his piano performing pieces by Ludwig van Beethoven and Sergei Rachmaninoff. This will be followed on 7 February by the Orchestra del Teatro Comunale di Bologna, with violinist Stefan Milenkovich, conducted by Oksana Lyniv, for the first time a guest of Ferrara Musica.
On 17 February, the music of the Orchestra dell'accademia Nazionale Di Santa Cecilia directed by Myung-Whun Chung.

Out of season tickets, on 5 March Nicola Guidetti, flute, and Massimiliano Damerini, piano, perform music by Poulenc, Damerini, Scriabin, Debussy, Varèse, and Bartók at the Ridotto of the Teatro Comunale.
On 27 March, Nikolaj Znaider's violin and Robert Kulek's piano perform pieces by Erich Wolfgang Korngold, Johannes Brahms, Anton Webern and Ludwig van Beethoven.

We are sure that there is certainly something in this varied programme for you too!
We are waiting for you in Ferrara!
