Teatro Regio is dedicating the entire month of November to dance with two extraordinary productions: classical dance performed by the company Les Ballets de Monte-Carlo, which presents La bisbetica domata (The Taming of the Shrew) in the modern and highly sensitive version by Jean-Christophe Maillot with music by Dmitri Shostakovich, on stage from Nov. 6-10; and the fiery passion of flamenco in Fuego with music by Manuel de Falla, performed by the Compañía Antonio Gades, Nov. 14 - 17. On both occasions, the music will be performed by the Orchestra of Teatro Regio,  with Igor Dronov conducting the first of the two productions.

Tuesday, October 15, at 8 pm, Tosca by Giacomo Puccini will be presented, an opera that inaugurates the season, alternating with I pescatori di perle (The Pearl Fishers). The production is staged by Mario Pontiggia and Francesco Zito, originating from Teatro Massimo in Palermo. Anna Pirozzi and Marcelo Álvarez will play the roles of Floria Tosca and Mario Cavaradossi. The Chorus is under the guidance of Chorus Master Andrea Secchi, and the Teatro Regio Children's Chorus and the "G. Verdi” Conservatory Chorus are under the guidance of Claudio Fenoglio. Due to an indisposition, the conductor Daniel Oren has been forced to give up the first four Tosca's performances, from 15 to 19 October.
