Caracalla Festival 2025 “Between Sacred and Human”

Running from June 29 to Aug. 7 is the Caracalla Festival 2025 proposal, entitled “Between Sacred and Human,” which includes opera, sacred music, musicals, dance, concerts and meetings. Four new productions: Händel’s La Resurrezione, Verdi’s La traviata, Mozart’s Don Giovanni and Bernstein’s West Side Story, all entrusted to names from the “nuovelle vague” of international opera direction such as Ilaria Lanzino, Sláva Daubnerová, Vasily Barkhatov and Damiano Michieletto himself. Then, for West Side Story, Rome Opera Music Director Michele Mariotti takes the podium. Dance sees the Teatro’s Corps de Ballet, directed by Eleonora Abbagnato, engaged in an evening of two great contemporary classics: Ravel’s Bolero signed by Maurice Béjart and Stravinsky’s Le Sacre du printemps with the celebrated choreography by Pina Bausch, for the first time performed by an Italian ballet company. These are joined by the unfailing Roberto Bolle and Friends evening. Carl Orff’s Carmina Burana closes the bill, with Diego Matheuz on the podium and Maestro Ciro Visco conducting the Capitoline foundation’s Chorus. Varied again this year are the pop music offerings that precede the playbill curated by Damiano Michieletto: concerts begin as early as Tuesday, June 3. Among the first confirmations are names such as Antonello Venditti, Giorgia, Alessandra Amoroso, Fiorella Mannoia and Giovanni Allevi.
